Hide Users from Login Screen in XP

Windows displays the list of users by default in the login screen. But want to give it a new look!!! Follow these tweaks....

* Click Start ==> Run ==> Type "Regedit"

* Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\ CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList"

* Right-click on the right pane and click "New" ==> "DWord Value"

* Create the DWord with the exact name of the user you want to hide and assign a Decimal value of 0/1.


0 - To hide the user
1 - To show the user

* Click "OK"

Now Restart the system!!

* To logon with the account of hidden user, Press "CTRL+ALT+DEL" twice and you are displayed with the classic style of XP logon where you can enter both the username and the password of the user.


Wasn't that cooool!!!

Please Comment!!!
