Disable Login Chooser
By default, the login window shows icons of users available for login. To disable this and get back a username/password prompt, a registry setting[1] has to be modified:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System dontdisplaylastusername=1
The setting can also be modified via the Security Policy Editor:
- Start secpol.msc
- Local Policies → Security Options → Interactive logon → Do not display last user name → Enabled
After a reboot, the login chooser should be gone.
Concurrent Remote Desktop Sessions
Just as for Windows XP[2][3], there's a Terminal Server patch for Windows 7 out there[4]:
SHA-1 5335b0798967f85467aa74350518bcfb74994c92 Readme.EN.txt SHA-1 11caa8080350d254ca41f027064b84b89ad797d0 Readme.txt SHA-1 37c0d892b38bbf9d8c6a8d35db5b32555cb758c8 UniversalTermsrvPatch-x64.exe SHA-1 238da5b983806858a36a0d4b1c8736a328a99a8f UniversalTermsrvPatch-x86.exe SHA-1 48358a1887ee8594f776c6250995f7d6bdcb5c76 vista.reg SHA-1 7bb5c753eda43f7ee863df1b99907622050847bf xp.reg
The executables will try to do this automatically:
- Backup \Windows\System32\Termsrv.dll
- Run UniversalTermsrvPatch-x64.exe resp. UniversalTermsrvPatch-x86.exe as administrator
- Reboot
To revert, one can restore the backup Termsrv.dll and undo the changes done with the registry files.
$ cat vista.reg Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server] "fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000 "fSingleSessionPerUser"=dword:00000000
Word 2010
Probably not a Windows 7 issue, but after installing MS Word 2010 on Windows 7, this happened:[5][6]
There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font.
A reboot fixed the issue, of course :-\
