=?iso-8859-1?Q?Beno=EEt_Segond_von_Banchet?=

I created an account (advised by Microsoft Baseline
Security Analyzer) to run the SQL Desktop Engine.

Now this account is displayed on the welcome screen,
which is quite stupis as the account is not meant foe any
human user to log into.

There are accounts, that do not display on the welcome
screen (ASPNET for instance, installed by an update from
Windows Update).

How can I make my MSDE account not display on the Welcome
screen?

Thanks!
 
Kelly,

Great! It works fine. Thnx! :)

Add the username you wish to hide as a DWORD value. Set the value to 0
(zero).
