You can force users to use the traditional Ctrl+Alt+Del screen:

1. Start, Settings, Control Panel
2. User Accounts
3. Select 'Change the way users log on or off'
4. Untick option 'Use the welcome screen'
5. Click OK

Then users are hidden but they will have to type their username and
password to logon.
