What is ClearName?

Not Rated 0 votes Rate this answer

ClearName is a lightweight utility from RJL Software that clears the last logged-in username from the Windows login prompt. It runs completely invisibly -- no window, no tray icon, no user interaction. Add it to a login script or Startup folder and it silently erases the last username so the next person at the machine sees a clean login prompt.
