| | How can I hide usernames from Welcome Screen? Hi all! There are some usernames that I do not want to be displayed on Vista Welcome Screen. I could not find a TweakUI for Vista to accomplish this. I googled and found a solution that concerned with the registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows NT \CurrentVersion \Winlogon \SpecialAccounts \UserList]. I added the usernames[DWORD32:0] under the key, but the username still appears on WelCome Screen. Could anybody tell me how to get it worked? Thanks in advance. Weichun |

| | RE: How can I hide usernames from Welcome Screen? You have Vista so an NT solution won't work. Revert what you've done and try : create dword value at HKLM\software\microsoft\windowsnt\currentversion\winlogon\speccialaccounts\userlist Name of the user = 0 (0 = hide 1 = show) -- I mastered Wordstar graphics!

| | Re: How can I hide usernames from Welcome Screen? hi, Thanks for your reply. I have another solution for this issue: Create a policy to deny the users to logon locally in "Local Security Policy",then the usernames will not be found on WelCome Screen. I have tried the SpecialAccounts registry key, it cannot to work arround the problem, On Welcome Screen, I clicked "Switch Users", the usernames that I prefer to be hidden will appear all the time.

And if you really don't want the user to log in, why not just delete the account? Suspect I'm missing something here... Bill |
