re: Hide user account? Monday, July 20, 2009 at 9:05 am Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve B (1909 messages posted) Ilya1, your suggestion is a good one for hiding an account. But it doesn't help my situation. I tried it out and found that when hidden, the account was essentially disabled and worthless. I couldn't log on to it, because the ctrl-alt-del does nothing. When running as a non-admin, I couldn't use it's password to elevate my authority. I was only given the opportunity to use my regular admin acccount password. This surprised me, but that's what I found. So I'm back to square one. If my regular admin account gets hosed, I'm up the creek. And so are you. Written in response to: re: Hide user account?
