Situation

In certain cases, it is desired that the username, tree, and context fields in the Novell GINA login screen be blank each time the workstation is started.

2. Locate

4. Locate
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Novell\Location Profiles\Services\{1E6CEEA1-FB73-11CF-BD76-00001B27DA23}\Default\Tab1
