| How to suppress Admin acct from welcome screen The subject says it all, I think. My machine has three accounts; admin, main user, guest user. When the machine starts I do not want the admin acct to be visible to the main and user accts from the welcome screen. I didn't see an obvious way to do this but surely there must be. Advice? chocobot |

| Re: How to suppress Admin acct from welcome screen I guess I am insane (along with a group of others). User Account - Hide This is what you do if you can login. http://www.computerworld.com/action/...8&pageNumber=2 Turning on the Administrator account is straightforward. First, open an elevated command prompt by typing cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator . Then enter this command and press Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes From now on, the Administrator account will appear as an option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts you may have set up. Use it like any other account. Be aware that it won't have a password yet, so it's a good idea to set a password for it. If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter: Net user administrator /active:no AutoLogon - Start - Search - netplwiz Highlight User Name - Uncheck Users must enter a User Name and Password Provide Password when prompted or hit enter if no password Administrator Account How to Enable or Disable the Real Built-in Administrator Account "chocobot" <chocklat@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C4467933.9190%chocklat@xxxxxx
