user account for SMB

[x_kzy_xd]

is it possible to create user accounts under windows just for home network sharing?

I don't want the account to appear in the list of login windows. I don't need it to have its own set of folders, etc...

I just need many different login credential for my SMB shares.

I think you can accomplish that by removing the right to log on locally via the local security policy and adding it to the list of hidden accounts in the registry, but I don't think there's a simple checkbox to do either for you.

You can hide user accounts from the welcome screen

No home/profile folders are created until a user interactively logs in to the desktop. So if that never happens, no folders will ever be created. So, as mentioned, disallow local login for that account.

secpol.msc --> Security Settings --> Local Policies --> User Rights Assignment --> Deny Log On Locally --> Add User or Group
Just add each smb account to a smb user group and add the group to the above.
