What this tip does is  allow you to hide a desired account from this screen. If you want to log  on as this user you have to press Cntrl+Alt+Del twice at the Welcome  screen to make a Windows Security dialog box appear. Here you can  type in the user name and password of the hidden account and log in.  Limited Users shouldn't be able to see any sign of you except for the  listing in the Documents and Settings folder. Other administrative users  will be able to see your hidden account in Control Panel/User Accounts,  so keep this in mind when you're planning this out. All  right, now down to the good stuff. If having a hidden account sounds  like your cup of tea, and you have no problem with small Registry  augmentation, then let's go: * First we need to open up the  Registry Editor. Go to Start/Run and type "regedit" and click OK *  You should be looking at the Registry editor, and what we need to do  now is navigate to H-KEY\Software\Microsoft\Windows  NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\Userlist . You will not see  this folder if you do not have "show hidden system files" turned on. *  Once here we need to create another DWORD value. This is easier than it  sounds, right click on the User list label file on the left side of the  screen and select New>DWORD . You'll see the new entry in the right  pane of the window, rename this value the name of the user account you  want hidden (exactly how it is listed in the Startup screen, case  sensitive) and leave the value at 0. * Close your Registry  Editor and restart the PC. When the Welcome screen comes up you'll  notice that there's no icon for the user you just concealed. So how do  you log in? This is where you press Cntrl+Alt+Del 2x's and the Windows  Security Dialog box will come asking you to authenticate (name/password)  after this the system should log you in. Here's one more thing  you might want to keep in mindâ€”Windows logon screen. This is the  screen where you see the available users you can choose to log in as.  You can turn this option on/off in the User Accounts ( Start/Control  Panel/User Accounts then "Change the way Users log in or off" and "Use  Windows Welcome Screen" and you need to turn it off if you plan on using  a hidden account and there are no other accounts on the system. The  reason why is that the Windows doesn't have any user accounts to display  in the Welcome screen, so it will continuously reboot. Now if you do  run into this or any problems simply enter Safe mode at the next boot,  this will allow you to go to the User Accounts Window and fix any  problems. If you find that you can't log in at all with your  hidden account go back and look at the registry value you created. Make  sure you're spelling the user name is correct and that it's in the right  location in the registry.      Ko Ape YaLuWonta Epa WAge..... <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/no.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":no:" title="No    :no:" data-shortname=":no:" /> </blockquote>
