Can I hide user accounts from the welcome screen?

[Morten Petterøe]

Hi,

I am developing for CMS server on my PC, and this includes having 10-14
extra user accounts on my computer.

I want to still have the password protection, and if possible the welcome
screen.

Is there a way to hide these program-access-only accounts from my welcome
screen?


Thanks,

Morten

I think TweakUI has this facility?

Morten,

You can keep your account name from appearing in the list of accounts by =
following any of these methods:

1. Click Start, Run and type regedit.
2. Navigate to the following registry key:
[HKEY LOCAL =
MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersio n\Winlogon\SpecialAccou=
nts\UserList]
3. Right click an empty space in the right pane and select New | DWORD =
value.
4. Name the new value exactly the same as your user account.
5. Double click the new value and set the data value to 0.=20
6. Close the Registry Editor and reboot the computer to apply the =
change.=20

NOTE: To "unhide" the account, repeat these steps and set the data value =
to 1.

Download PowerToys from here:-

Instal TweakUI from that.

Run TweakUI and click on the "LogOn" itme near bottom left side of
window.

Untick users that you don't want to appear at logon welcome screen
