Show Users on Windows 7 Welcome Screen
I've found plenty of posts on how to hide users from the Welcome screen, and posts wanting the classic logon prompt, however what I'm looking for, doesn't seem to be anybody even asking about it. I've got a couple machines with Windows 7 on it, Joined to a domain. Is there a way to get Users from the domain listed on the Welcome Screen?

On a computer that is not joined to a domain, you normally have up to five accounts. It's rare that there are more.

For security reasons, you wouldn't publish all possible usernames on a Welcome screen. This would be a good headstart for anyone wanting to crack passwords.
