Mike,
You can keep an account name from appearing in the list of accounts by doing this edit:
Click Start | Run and type regedit to start the Registry Editor.
In the left pane, navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Right click an empty space in the right pane and select New | DWORD value.
Name the new value exactly the same as your user account.
Double click the new value and set the data value to 0.
Close the Registry Editor and reboot the computer to apply the change.
If you want to "unhide" the account, repeat these steps and set the data value to 1.
Alternately, you can accomplish this using TweakUI.

"MLMjr" <webmaster at jumppad.com> wrote in message Hello all,
I was wondering if there is a way to set up users on XP that DO NOT show up in the list of users when XP boots up? I have other computers on my home network that I would allow access to parts of my XP machine, but these users never use my machine directly, so I would rather their logons not display. If there is a more appropriate way to handle this situation I would be love to hear it.
Thanks in advance
Mike
