I have tried to carry out the the solution given by Microsoft in Q152104, but I found out that I couldn't enter my LAN afterwards. So I did as follows: 1.After boot up at Login screen: leave username as it is, leave password blank and choose OK. You're logged in by YOUR OWN USERNAME and without password. You should be able to enter your LAN now, 2.Check -if not- in Networkneighbourhood Properties that Windows Logon is enabled, 3.Start up Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon and make the next changes: "LMLogon"="0"; "PrimaryProvider"=""; "username"="-YOUR OWN USERNAME-"; 4.Exit Regedit and reboot, 5.You should not see the login screen anymore and finally you can disable the "Show Logoff" in the Taskbar and Start Menu settings. You can proceed this at any workstation in your LAN. Hoping this could be helpfull to you, greetings Leo.
