Create Hidden User Account

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 similar to the one in
Windows 2000.

Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as 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]

Now just exit and reboot. Your account will be hidden!
