Hiding a user from the Welcome Screen

From Ben's Writing

Using a GUI

• Run regedit.exe;
• In the Registry Editor, drill down to:

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

• Add a new DWORD user, where user is the name of the user you want to hide from the Welcome Screen;
• Assign 0 to the new DWORD;
• Restart the machine.

Using the command line

• Run reg.exe

C:\> reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList" \
     /v condor-reuse-slot1 /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
