rootkit?..

That will make the user invisible in the WinXP logon screen.You just need to replace YourHiddenUser with the username you need to hide.
Hope that this will help you.

Have a nice day.

This registry edit creates a new "hidden" user account. To log on using the account it's necessary to use the Log On To Windows dialog box similar to the one in Windows 2000.


[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Make a new Dword Value
Value Name: HiddenUserAccountName
Value Data: 0
Exit Registry and Reboot

The account will be hidden on the Welcome screen, however the account profile will be visible in C:\Documents and Settings (default) or wherever user profiles are stored on your system as well as in Local Users and Groups (in Computer Management).

Yes this is the same thing that strasharo just posted, but his must be run from a batch file. This may be done yourself. Same effect.

If you do a bit of batch scripting you can use attrib to hide the folder

Well, i had this included in my batch, just cut it off in my reply because that part wasn`t included in the question.Here it is,just append it to the end of your batch:


That`s all. Have a nice day!

Thanks to all of u guys i very helped me

illwill had a utility on his site that would doe exactly this.

the site is in the middle of moving servers, give us a few days

Ok I posted this once before but it was on 2000 pro and I know it will work on XP also.

if you go thur the registry and changes all values that point to docs and settings to a new location it will hide where the user account is located instead of the docs and settings location. But will not hide the user inside the snapin. 90% hidden. Maybe someopne will figure a way to change this too.. lol.

a example would be:

Original rich account: c:\documents and settings\rich
New location after reg changes: c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\rich

that is where your new profile would be located when you login to windows. To view favorites etc.. would be in the "c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\rich". ( put your own new location path ) This works I have tested it. Just my opinion though..

::::: EDIT ::::::

Forgot to add you must be logged on as the user you want to change. And once you have made the chnages logg off and on again as someone else and move the new account to the location you have choosen to hide the account. If you leave it without moving it will just revert to the same account with no changes. MOVE THE ENTIRE NEW ACCOUNT TO THE NEW ACCOUNT LOCATION YOU SPECIFEID IN THE REGISTRY.
