Hide Your User Account In Windows XP

If your parents have recently locked you out of their computer, then there is a way to make your account invisible, so they wont know that your account exists, and you can still log in.

You have to edit your registry for this, so if you dont want to take the risk, then dont do it.

First off, you have to create your account.

1) Turn on computer and keep hitting F8 untill you are at the safe mode screen selection.
2) Log in the administrator account, it shouldnt require a password, if it does, that means that your parents locked that account and you cant create you account.
3) If you are in, then go to control panel and create your account.
4) Restart your computer, and logg in your account. After everything is loaded, go to Start > Run > Regedit. The registry will popup.

Ok, now follow this root to make your account invisible.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Now right click, and go to New > DWord Value and name it YOUR EXACT USER NAME, like if your use name is JunglePrince then make it JunglePrince, if its jUNGLEpRINCE, then name it jUNGLEpRINCE.

Now the value should be zero, if it isnt, the right click the value you just made and go to Modify, and make sure Value data is 0.

Now restart, and at the log in screen, you want see your username, now hit CTRL+DEL+ALT twice, and it will switch to a diffrent loggin screen. Once it happens, logg in with your name, and TADA!.
