The subject says it all, I think. My machine has three accounts; admin, main user, guest user. When the machine starts I do not want the admin acct to be visible to the main and user accts from the welcome screen. I didn't see an obvious way to do this but surely there must be. Advice? chocobot |

I guess I am insane (along with a group of others). http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/94805-user-account-hide.html This is what you do if you can login. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=3DviewArticleBasic= &articleId=3D9015738&pageNumber=3D2 Turning on the Administrator account is straightforward. First, open an elevated command prompt by typing=20 cmd into the Search box on the Start menu, right-clicking=20 the command prompt icon that appears at the top of the=20 Start menu, then selecting Run as administrator . Then enter this command and press Enter: Net user administrator /active:yes From now on, the Administrator account will appear as an=20 option on the Welcome screen, along with any user accounts=20 you may have set up. Use it like any other account. Be aware=20 that it won't have a password yet, so it's a good idea to set a=20 password for it. If you want to disable the account and hide it, enter this=20 command at an elevated command prompt and press Enter: Net user administrator /active:no AutoLogon - Start - Search - netplwiz Highlight User Name - Uncheck Users must enter a User Name and Password Provide Password when prompted or hit enter if no password http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67567-administrator-account.html How to Enable or Disable the Real Built-in Administrator Account "chocobot" <chocklat@Hotmail.com> wrote in message = news:C4467933.9190%chocklat@Hotmail.com... > The subject says it all, I think.
