Click start, control panel, user accounts. Click "Change the way users
logon", then uncheck use welcome screen.

I want to use the welcome screen but hide certain users not all users.

Thank you.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Add the username you wish to hide as a DWORD value. Set the value to 0
(zero). This will prevent the user from showing up on the welcome screen.
You will need to press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice at the logon screen to get the old
Win2K logon, to be able to logon to the account you've hidden.
Adding a username and setting the value to 1 will cause that user, such as
Administrator, to show up on the Welcome screen as well.

Hide User or Add User to the Welcome Screen (Line 22)

One thing I noticed, Kelly, is that if you hide a username from the welcome
screen, it also hides that users documents folder in explorer as well - just
a note. :-)
