My goal is for vista to only ever display one standard 'logon screen' that contains two fields for a username and a password and never hints at what user name(s) are available.  I have accomplished this at the welcome screen and logon screen by turning on DontDisplayLastUsername.  However the "lock screen" still displays the last user.  Obviously I don't want to simply DisableLockWorkstation since the goal here is security. 

Can it be done?  My ideas: 

(1) a registry edit that tells LockWorkstation to not display last username

(2) a registry edit that tells vista to "switch user" on wake up instead of "locking"

(3) disabling LockWorkstation completely and telling vista to run the contents of the "startup" folder upon wake up
