Create a Secret User account in Windows XP

Dont wan't people to mess up with your user account, admin a/c. Here is a tweak, that might work for you.

The welcome screen displays all of the local users on the system, except the built-in administrator account that was created during setup.

Start> Run> Regedit:

(Warning: Editing registry is dangerous. If you don't know how to work in registy please donot mess around, as you system might become unstable and carsh)

For Others please back up your registry before editing:

Start >Run > Regedit>Ok> Registry>Export Registry file>type a name > save

If we want to hide a specific user from the list, we need to create a special value under this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Under this key you simply create a new DWORD value - the name matches the users name exactly, and the value is one of the following (Decimal format)

0 - Hides the user just from the welcome screen

1 - The user is shown

Close the registry editor > Reboot.

A program is also available that will do this for you, eazzy!
