1. Start | Run | mmc
2. File | Add/Remove Snapin...
3. Add...
4. Group Policy Object Editor
5. Add
6. Finish
7. Close
8. Ok
9. Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Windows Settings |
Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Accounts: Rename
administrator account
10. Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Windows Settings |
Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options | Interactive logon:
Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL
