| | Re: Hide root account Michael schrieb: > How do I hide the root account in the login screen, since I wont get on with > it? > > (its the Administrator Account) It's the same way as in XP: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon/SpecialAccounts/UserList Note the space between Windows and NT. Create a DWORD there with username and value set to zero. But this causes trouble. If an administrator is removed from the welcome screen it is also removed from the list of administrators that appears when selecting "run as administrator". That's a drawback compared to XP where one could hide the administrator's names from welcome screen and still could use them from the listbox. |
