It's the same way as in XP:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows
NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon/SpecialAccounts/UserList

Note the space between Windows and NT. Create a DWORD there with
username and value set to zero.

But this causes trouble. If an administrator is removed from the welcome
screen it is also removed from the list of administrators that appears
when selecting "run as administrator". That's a drawback compared to XP
where one could hide the administrator's names from welcome screen and
still could use them from the listbox.
