User Accounts

[Guest Jake]

Is there any way to hide a user account from the User Accounts panel without

disabling the account? For example, I am administrator so I can view all the

user accounts in the user accounts section of the control panel but is there

any way for me to hide one of those user accounts so it doesn't appear but

they can still log on?

Use the classic logon box and set it to not display the last user's name.

 

Start>Run>regedit [enter]

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

"DontDisplayLastUserName"=dword:00000001

 

Always be careful when working in the registry.

Thanks for the reply but I don't mean from the start menu, I mean from the

User Accounts box in control panel. Also is there a way to make it so only

YOU can change YOUR own password not anyone else, not even other Admins?

Admin is short for Administrator, and if it is a Local Administrator,

well that IS the purpose of the Account.
