I am running Windows 7 64-bit Professional, and have two user accounts on my computer. Problem is that the login screen only shows the last logged in user and an “Other User” icon which allows you to input username manually. Is there any way of reverting to showing a list of all the users instead?

If you have multiple user accounts in Windows 8, 7 or Vista, you may notice a new annoyance – The login screen only displays the last logged-on user and a blank image with the label “Other User”. When the latter is clicked, two text fields will appear prompting for username and password.

Here we’ll show you how to fix this problem so you can see a list of users at the login screen. This method will also prevent Windows from automatically logging in to the last user account.
