I've created some user accounts on the server that I don't want to be shown on the logon screen. I wanted to hide these as they are backup administrator accounts or for FTP only.

To hide users open Regedit and navigate to the following location:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

You may need to create the SpecialAccounts and UserList keys if they don't exist. Add a DWORD value for each user that you want to hide and set the value data to 0 (to hide the user) or 1 (to show the user).

Hello dave.webb,

Great effort.
Thanks for great sharing.
