remove user only at windows logon screen

[theUnattender]

is it possible to remove certain users from the logon screen on windows xp after start ?

e.g. i have a user for my sat-tv box which is only used to access the harddrive and record stuff from the sat

but i don't want it to be seen on the xp logon page

thx

Log in as the user you want to remove then go to Start » Run paste this 'single line' in and click on OK

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList" /v "%USERNAME%" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

<Edit>

You will obviously need to reboot to see the change.
