Create A Hidden User Account

This tweak allows an account that is normally displayed on
the Welcome screen to be hidden from view.
To log on using the account it’s necessary to use the Log On
to Windows dialog box.do as follows:

#[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
#RegistryKey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

#Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
#Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] //
Value Name: Type Name of Account to be Hidden

#Setting for Value Data: [0 = Account is Hidden / 1 = Enabled]

#Exit Registry and Reboot…

While the account is hidden on the Welcome screen,
note that the account profile will be visible in C:\Documents
and Settings or wherever user profiles are stored as well as
in Local Users and Groups.
