re: How to hide a user at logon ? Saturday, November 30, 2002 at 5:42 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by CHUCKY (1 messages posted) Hide Users on the Welcome Screen When you add an account for certain users with Windows XP, their user names will appear on the Welcome Screen. Sometimes a user needs to be added to a Windows XP machine, because he needs access (via the network) to resources on the machine, but he will not be physically logging in on the computer. You can remove his name from the Welcome Screen, while still maintaining the user account. 1. Start the Registry Editor 2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \ 3. Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value 4. Name the new value exactly as the Username 5. Leave the Value data as 0 6. If you want to enable this user again on the Welcome Screen, either double-click the Username value, and change the Value data to 0, or delete the Username 7. Close the registry editor On Sunday, January 27, 2002 at 1:56 pm, KMA wrote: >I'd like to know how to hide a user at logon under Windows XP ? >Is there any registrery key to hide, for example, an administrator at the simplyfied >logon screen (with the picture) ? > >Thanks.
