stop WinXP from transmitting username to public Wifi access points.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Whenever I use my WinXP laptop to connect to a Wifi access point I can
always see the username of my machine in the Wifi router's logs (for my own
router)

I suppose it does the same for even public access points. Is there a way to
prevent the transmission of this username? I guess it is mostly a privacy
issue.
