anyone know how to make users with the net command that won't appear on the XP login screen?

i.e. c:\windows\system32\net user admin admin /add
c:\windows\system32\net localgroup administrators /add admin

will create a user called admin
but will be visible to everyone at xp login screen.

how do you create 'silent' users, like the default ones e.g. helpadministrator etc.

thanx

I can't remember exacly.. but you could try as adding them as Domain Controler or something along those lines.. I dont think that shows up on the login screen.

search google, ago , i read a way to remove a created user from the windows xp logon screen , thats done by modifying the registry

well that doesn't answer the question. the problem is how to make a user that wont be visible to the end user at the xp login screen. it must be possible, and i cant imagine it's that hard to do.

e.g. if u install visual studio.net, u get an extra user called sqldebugger, which is only visible by typing net user in dos.

come on people, some one must know the answer to this...

Currently I only know one tweak for this function in general, and that's sadly not thru' cmd.exe - anyway here it goes:

Start RegEdit. Locate and go to: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WINLOGON\SpecialAccounts\Userlist"

Here you'll have to create a new DWORD value, with *EXACT* the same name as the user you wish to hide.

This is however IMO not bad to know - running the correct applications will quickly do this for you.

thanx, that's just what i was after.

Infact, if you give the value "10000" to that DWORD, you can hide all users starting with that name:

ex:
Users-> hack_filler, hack_leech, hack_leechers

DWORD "hack_" VALUE "10000"

why not use the following command also :

net user "user" /EXPIRES:never

so u know that the user never expires.

... net user username /delete ...
