October 28, 200421 yr Hi, I am setting up a PC for my neighbour and have created users for the husband and one for the wife. But i am the admin and i dont want that to show up at login time.Is it possible to remove the admin from the regular user login screen?
October 28, 200421 yr You could try this ...System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]Value Name: AdministratorData Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)Value Data: (1 = show Administrator, 0 = hide Administrator)
October 28, 200421 yr Author thanks, i will try that today,looking down the track...How will i log back in (on the rare occasion)
October 28, 200421 yr The only way you can do that is change the way they logon. Don't use the Welcome Screen.
October 28, 200421 yr So, use this setting instead ...System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]Value Name: DontDisplayLastUserNameData Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)Value Data: (1 = remove username)
October 28, 200421 yr double ctrl alt del will show up the classic login when you are looking at the welcome screenplease dont think this is a joke i know what it used to do but that has been disabled with win xp
October 28, 200421 yr Well remembered tacitus85, I forgot all about that little trick! EDIT: all that reg tweak does is to force you to type in your username and password.
October 28, 200421 yr Author You could try this ...System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]Value Name: AdministratorData Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)Value Data: (1 = show Administrator, 0 = hide Administrator)HOw about if i do this to hide the Admin (Me) then when i need to log in as the admin I can do tacticus trick!double ctrl alt del will show up the classic login when you are looking at the welcome screenplease dont think this is a joke i know what it used to do but that has been disabled with win xpIs that feasible?
November 3, 200421 yr Author You could try this ...System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList]Value Name: AdministratorData Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)Value Data: (1 = show Administrator, 0 = hide Administrator)I tried setting up this reg key as it wasnt there, but it did not remove the admin?Have i possibly missed something?
