Default Hiding serive user IDs

I just created several user IDs specifically to run certain Windows
services as recommended in certain Windows setup programs like SQL
Server 2008.

But I am not interested in seeing these IDs at login time. I know there
is a way to make service accounts invisible to login, but I can remember
where that control resides, whether it is in local security policy or in
the registry or whatever....

Could somebody refresh my memory on this matter?

I think that I have just answered my own question....
I found this article on hiding user IDs at login.

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windo...in-windows-xp/

It is a registry entry.
