Windows: Edit the list of users at the Welcome Screen(Tetsed on XP SP2)

Run regedit
Goto the following from the left navigation windows:
Microsft > Windows NT > Winlogon > SpecialAccounts > UserList
If 'Name123' is the username of the account you don't want at windows welcome screen then:
Edit > New > DWORD Value
Name it Name123.


But still one can access the hidden user account by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and manually filling up username and password.


Deleting the above created entry later will bring back the username at the welcome screen at all times.
