Hi, I am wondering is there a way for me to make aparticular user not
appear in the "user accounts" control pannel appellet. I know how to
make it disappear from the welcome screen, but not how to make it not
appear in the control panel box. I do NOT want to disable/hide the user
accounts applete completely.


Thank you

Not sure you can do this. What's your goal?
 
To have a user on the computer that someone casually looking around
will not be able to tell that it is on there.

Instead, set permissions/restrictions on what a user can do in the gui.
A regular user in a business or school lab situation should not be
allowed to get to Control Panel anyway. Set restrictions with Group
Policies. For questions regarding the Group Policy Editor, post here:
