Logging onto Windows 7 Machine Locally

     Sometimes students have to log in locally at home from their devices. This can be troublesome when the domain is unavailable and they don't know the name of their computer that they have been issued.

Luckily, there is a fast fix for this.

For this example, we will assume that username: bob is trying to log into a computer named: laptop003

This would give the local computer name of: laptop003\bob

We can log in quicker by using this method. To log in locally on a Windows 7 machine using the example credentials from above:

In the username box you would just type: .\bob

Then you would input the password as normal and log in.

This method uses a full stop to cut down on the amount of information that needs entered. This is good for people
