Hide Accounts from Windows Login Screen

May 4th, 2010

Login accounts can be hidden from the Windows Welcome/login screen by creating a registry key as follows:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Add DWORD for “AccountName” and set value to 0 to hide it from the UI

I use this for setting up Access Code authentication with LogMeIn after LMI has been installed.  You can create the LogMeInRemoteUser, add it to the Administrators group, then create a registry key in the above matching the username.
