can this be done? i want to create a hidden user account
that is only accessable by ctrl+alt+del and signing on by
typing in the name, like the administrator account is
now. thanks!

anyone want to *explain* to me how to do this. i'd rather not download a script to do this; i want to "know" how to do this manually. i am computer saavy so i dont think i'll have trouble following.
