Click to expand...

Download TweakUI from Microsoft. It's part of the Power Toys. In there you
can show/hide user accounts from the Welcome screen.

Or you could simply turn off the welcome screen and require that users type
in their username at log on.
 
To hide a user on the Welcome screen:

To hide the name of the last person who logged to the PC in the
logon dialog box:

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local
Security Policy.
Navigate to Local Policies/Security Options.
Right click Interactive Logon: Do not display user name.
Select Enable.
When you press Ctrl+Alt+Del the User name line should now be
blank.
