How can I create a hidden user account with administrator rights in Windows XP ?
- It should not show in user list at log-on screen.
- Document folder should not show in My Computer.
- User should not show in Control panel - User Accounts.
Other than the administrator, no one should not find that hidden user
How can I do it ?
Answer
This page on IntelliAdmin has a complete walkthrough for hiding a user on the login screen.
You need to create a registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Under this key you simply create a new DWORD value – the name matches the users name exactly, and the value is one of the following (Decimal format)
0 – Hides the user just from the welcome screen
1 – The user is shown
As this page warns, make sure you leave at least one account visible!
I can confirm that this works under Windows 7 as well.
I'm not sure about the other two requirements though.
