Hi all,

I've got a Windows XP Pro machine, and I've created a
few "dummy" user accounts so some Win98 machines can
access it. However, I don't want these user acounts to
show up on the welcome screen.

How can I tell Windows XP which users to display on the
welcome screen?

Thanks
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

1 is Show and 0 is hide.
Accounts have default behaviour, So you add Administrator and set it to 1 to show the admin account (cos it's hidden by default on correctly configured machines). Add a normal user and set to 0 to hide a normal user because they show by default.
