User Accounts

[zetroc]

How do you create a user account that will not display on the Welcome
screen? There are, in the sytem, some user level type of acccounts that do
not display on the Welcome screen and I wanted to create me own, but
couldn't. Can any body help me on this.

Thanks
Conrad

Hi Conrad,

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t

(note there is a space between Windows and NT).

Add the username you wish to hide as a DWORD value. Set the value to 0
(zero). This will prevent the user from showing up on the welcome screen.
You will need to press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the logon screen to get the old
Win2K logon, to be able to logon to the account you've hidden.

All the Best,
