| Vista Ultimate | Re: User Account - Hide Hi Shawn, Wouldn't I get essentially the same result by disabling the account? I have my computer set up to require name and password (no mickey mouse pics that way). I disable accounts through LUsrMgr.msc. karl |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: User Account - Hide Hi Karl, I have not tried it yet, but yes I believe it should have the same result. LUsrMgr.msc is not available for the Vista Home Basic and Home Premium editions, but if it does, then it will make a good easier option for folks with the other Vista editions. Thank you, Shawn |

| x64 Business | Re: User Account - Hide Hi Karl! I figured that disablin' the account turn the adminstrative properties and permitions off for network function, such sharing. And when I tested the registry mode, everything worked fine. Quote: Originally Posted by Karl Snooks Hi Shawn, Wouldn't I get essentially the same result by disabling the account?
