How can I mke a User not apear in the Welcome Screen

[newParadigm]

Okok.

I use the windows welcome screen for startup (it makes my skinned WinXP look real nice), anyway, is there anyway to get a use other than the Administrator to exist, not be disabled, and only be accesable through the Consol Login?

Thanks

Tweak XP has the option to remove users from the Welcome screen.

Delete the user.

Go to your administrative tools then local security settings. Find the User Rights Assignments and add the user to Deny Logon Locally. I think that will remove them from the display screen. However, test it because I am not sure they will be able to log in from the console.

I might be misunderstanding your question though.

He did ask that the user should not be disabled...

The solution you provided, ReelCOOL, didn't work. It removed it from the welcome screen but will not allow me to login from the console.

This really isn't a pressing issue anymore as I found something else that will take care of the reason I needed this.

I see exactally what you want to do and I will tell you how (forces you to log in through the prompt screen instead by hitting CTRL+Alt+Delete twice (windows 2000 style).

First go into the registry,
[HKEY_Local_Machine]
[SOFTWARE]
[Microsoft]
[Windows NT]
[CurrentVersion]
[Winlogon]
[SpecialAccounts]
[Userlist]

Then create a DWord key and name it to what the screen name is called (must use real name for example screen name can't have spaces I don't think) and IIRC either that is it and it just won't appear at login or you have to change it to a value like 1. (Most likely the first option)
This is good if you don't want a "backup account" being shown at login or the administrator account for that matter. Have fun!

You provided the correct course of action.

This is correct.
Leave the DWORD value at 0 to hide name or change to 1 to show on Welcome Screen
