Windows 7 - Unlocking a locked session without clicking on username
By default, when a Windows 7 computer is locked, to unlock the computer, it is necessary to click username of the logged on session and then enter the user's password.
Is there a configuration adjustment (preferably in Group Policy) that can be implemented so that it is not necessary to click the username first before entering the user's password. Alternatively, entering a shortcut on the keyboard would be sufficient.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I do not know about this possobility. On the other hand I used GPO that blocks any user to lock computer.
In my understanding this task is ambiguous, because of two computer users can unlock: the one that locked computer and administrator.

If the following Group Policy setting is Enabled, the logged on user is prompted to enter their password immediately after pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL on the locked computer. It is not necessary to click their username before entering their password.
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options\Interactive Logo: Do not required CTRL + ALT + DEL
