Administrator account appears on welcome screen

Dan Packard

I have Windows XP Pro, with Service pack 1, using the
Windows welocme screen which shows an icon for each user.
and does not require ctrl-alt-del to log in. This pc has
two local user accounts. The built in "administrator"
account and another one called "test".

I cannot get Windows to hide the administrator account
from the welcome screen. Microsoft knowledge base article
327918 resloved this issue for Windows XP home edition,
but this doesn't fix the problem in XP pro.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about how to
remove the administrator account from the Windows welcome
logon screen? Thank-you, --Dan

This problem goes away if I add one of the secondary
accounts, i.e. "test" to the administrators group. At the
next login the administrator account does not show up in
the welcome screen.
