Remove User Accounts from the Login Screen in Windows XP

Some software package added a user account that you really don’t want to see. So how do we hide that other account from the login screen?There’s a simple registry edit that you can do to hide accounts from the login screen.
Open up regedit.exe through the start menu Run box, and then navigate down to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
In right hand side create a DWORD with user name which should be hided from the login screen
Restart your computer and see you login screen hided other user.
To unhidden the account, simply delete the registry key which you are created.
