Disable Use the Welcome Screen in Windows 8

In Windows 8, I want users to type his/her name and password instead of clicking on a user name and typing password. It is similar to disabling "Use the Welcome Screen" in Windows XP. Is it possible ?

Welcome screen can't be disabled since Windows Vista. There's no Windows XP-like login dialog any more.

On the other hand, you can disable displaying user list. Start Group Policy Editor, gpedit.msc, expand Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, and double click Interactive logon: Do not display last user name. Then select Enabled and click OK.
