Windows Server 2012 slide login

Sick of that annoying touch-drag motion that makes sense on tablets, but not so much with a mouse that you are forced to perform before logging in to Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8? It turns out the spacebar will skip this screen. There's probably a way to disable the swipe to login on these newer versions of the operating system, but this work around seems efficient enough that I didn't bother looking for it.
