How to prevent a user account from appearing on Welcome screen?

[Dan]

Hi,

Is there a way to configure a user account so it does not appear on Welcome
screen? I have an account for ftp access only and I do want it to show up
on the Welcome screen (similar to - for example - ASPNET account).

Thanks,
Dan

I use TweakUI to hide a user. Just uncheck the Logon User on the right

If you do not want to play in the registry, download the Powertoy fot
XP TweakUI. Inside the "Logon" section, you can hide the user
accounts.
