Hello ...
I'm need a method for Hide/delete the Accounts in Registry Win XP.
in the example here Hide/delete the Guest Account. but I 'm need mor
methods for all accounts in Registry way HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM\SAM..

pleaes help me about it ...
***********************************
** Example: Hide/delete the Guest Account (WXP)
First things first, go into your Registry by clicking the "Start
button, click "Run"
and type:-
Regedit
and then ckick "OK".
Make your way here:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM\SAM
To go beyond SAM you have to give yourself permission by right-clickin
the
second SAM Key, choose "Permissions..." highlight the "Administrator
and click
the "Full Control" box, click "Apply" and "OK", then close and re-ope
Regedit.
If that doesn't work, try this:-
Highlight the second SAM Key, right-click it and choos
"Permissions...".
Highlight the user (Administrators) and then click the "Advanced
button,
highlight Administrators again then click the "Edit..." button.
Place a tick in "Full Control", click "Apply" and "OK", then "OK" the
close and reopen
Regedit to get to the extra sections.
Then make your way here in the Registry:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\000001F5
Double-click "V" then make your way to "Offset 0178" and replace th
number
"47" with "42".
Then go and have a look at Control Panel\User Accounts
All this does is hide the Guest Account from view.
This next part has only been tested on my computer which uses XP PRO
If you want to completely remove the Guest Account you will need t
delete the
Data Value from the Binary Name "V" then copy and paste this reg fil
info into
Notepad, save it onto your Desktop as NoGuest.reg and double-clic
it:-

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE CHANGING THINGS
I'm a newbie, take it easy on me

Why in the world do you want to do that? I would not mess with the registry.
Simply disable the account if you do not want it to be used. --- Steve
