winxp: Hide Users on the Welcome Screen

winxp: Hide Users on the Welcome Screen

Start the Registry Editor

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \

Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value

Name the new value exactly as the Username

Leave the Value data as 0

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

Close the registry editor
