my computer is windows 7 ultimate and i have tried exactly like what is given for several times to hide the user account from the welcome screen but it didnt work..
is there any other possible ways to do it.
Dear,
I tested this tutorial under win 7 ultimate too.So Please check carefully.
1.Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
2.New key SpecialAccounts under Winlogon
3.New key UserList under SpecialAccounts
4.In the right pane of UserList ,New DWORD(32-bit) and name it to the account name you want to hide,then press Enter ,then double-click it and set the value to “0″
Note:If you are using win7 64-bit version,maybe you should choose DWORD(64-bit) in step 4.
Thanks,

works fine for me

hi sir i also do it in ultimate but it didnt work what shoul i do plz say a solution i need this
how do i show the account once im in the user login? i heard you need to press ctrl alt delete? Doesnt work for me….any suggestions?
Just for everybody who might encounter the same problem after using this tweak to hide a user account on the logon-page.
I just stumbled upon a solution for an interesting problem concerning a non-working “run as admin” context menu. Since I couldn’t find a description of this setting anywhere, I describe the solution for everybody else who might have the same problem.
The setting: Windows 7 on a netbook, several different users, one admin (me).
The guessed soolution: Set up one admin account (not the built-in one), set up one user account, hide the admin account from the login screen via a regedit tweak as described in the article above.
So far, so well. Now the embarassing problem: The moment I hid the admin account, the run-as-admin context menu was no longer working. Saying this, I could select the option from the context menu but the upcoming window didn’t contain any longer a password prompt.
Importing the previously exported reg-file didn’t work as a non-admin, safe mode didn’t bring a solution, activating the build-in admin account wasn’t possible without running cmd with admin-rights.
Creating an elevated short-cut via task planner wasn’t wworking as well and running regedit with the runas command didn’t work either.
The solution: Running a second instance of cmd from a standard cmd prompt with the runas command. From this freshly created admin instance of cmd running regedit to change the registry key manually in order to show the hidden user account.
Hope this helps
