pascalbianca Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hello everyone,I have made a unattended xp dvd from my windowsxp oem cd.I use NLite to create it.In NLite i see that there are 2 users created in the tab "Users" called "administrator" and "guest".I created also one with my name.If i look, i can remove my name but not "administrator" and "guest".So the result is when everything is installed and xp goes into screensaver and i hit the space bar, there are 3 accounts.How can i disable "administrator" and "guest" so i can only see my name when i must login?

mongo66 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 When I customize with nlite, I don't make any changes to the Users tab (keep default settings). I also disable administrative shares in the advanced tweaking options as well.After XP setup completes, during first logon, I usually rename the Administrator account. As an added layer of security, I also turn off "Use simple file sharing" in Folder Options. Leaving it on will enable the Guest account if there are active shares on the computer. Now when I goto Computer Management, I see three accounts:- Administrator *renamed* (active)- Guest (disabled)- HelpAssistant (disabled)While I'm at the Welcome screen, the only user account I see is the (renamed) Admin account, nothing else.

pascalbianca Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thank you for the responce.I found also another way to do that.In the RunOnce tab, i placed the next lines:cmdow @ /HIDnet user (account name here!) /deleteThese two line remove complete the unwanted users.

Martin H Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You cannot delete the NT default admin account...Either you keep the default admin account for recovery/backdoor-purposses and use another account as your primary account, or you use the built-in admin account as your primary account and don't make another account, allthough that's not really recommended, but up to yourself, of course...

Yzöwl Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I would suggest that you do not delete either account!You can however disable them easily enough from the commandline:@For /f %# In (Administrator Guest) Do @Net user %# /active:no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
