Hiding a User Account from the Welcome Screen

When a user account is created in a Windows Xp machine it usually appears in the Windows Welcome Screen and in User Accounts Control panel….in some cases we need to hide our user account from other uses…this is the way to do it…it’s a very simply thing u have to do…

Go to run and type regedit and open the registry

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,SOFTWARE,Microsoft,WindowsNt,CurrentVersion,WinLogon,Speical Accounts,UserList

To add an account just right click and select New DWORD value…when the user account is created enter the name of the account u want to hide…it’s simple as that..
