RE: Hidden Account
Yes it is possible.

Create the user account make sure it is an Admin account.

Open Registry Editor.

In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Create the following entry:

Username: REG_DWORD

(Where Username is the username of the user you want to hide from the Welcome Screen).

Assign a value of 0.

Close Registry Editor.

Reboot.


To access this account you need to press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the welcome screen and it will give you the Windows 2000 style account. Use this to enter the username and password to login.
