Hide username on XP start panel?

Saturday, August 24, 2002 by geekboy2000 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I don't want to hide the user from any login, or administrative function, I just want to "blank out" the username from the top of the XP start panel. More often than not, with most skins, the font/positioning is awful. Thanks!

Search on www.tweakxp.com. It is a Group Policy tweak.

I found it for you:
START > RUN > GPEDIT.MSC > USER CONFIGURATION > ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES > START MENU AND TASKBAR > FIND REMOVE USER NAME FROM START MENU > RIGHT CLICK PROPERTIES > CHECK ENABLED > OK

Edwin . . you rule! Thanks! I was expecting it might require a WB skin tweak, but this is the best solution.
