Preventing an account to be displayed on Welcome screen

[=?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!

Hi,

Start/Run/Regedit

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

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

Hide User or Add User to the Welcome Screen (Line 22)
