I assume that you are asking to hide users in the welcome screen.
To do this, go to this key in regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Under this key create a new DWORD value with the name of the user, say Jimmy, and then put decimal value acc to following-
0 - Hides the user from the welcome screen
1 - Show the user in the welcome screen
How to log into the user that is not shown in the welcome screen?
Press ctrl+alt+del twice and then login with the appropriate usename and password.
This trick works only in XP professional.
Another simpler approach is this,
Log in as an administrator and go to Control Panel > Administrator Tools > Computer Management > Users. Now selct the user you want and under the options use the check box to hide or display the account.
But the best option is this,
don't use welcome screen

As far as I am aware you can't be in the administrators group and not appear when the group is enumerated.

I wish there was a way that you could hide admin accounts. I was talking with this to my brother-in-law that runs a network with me. I still haven't found a way, but it sure would be nice.

you could sort of hide the admin account by creating a group and giving it the required permissions. is there something in particular you are trying to achieve or just be a hidden admin?
in that case it might just be easier to know the username/pass of an admin to do your evil bidding

I've actually wondered myself if there wasn't some registry mucking you could do to accomplish this. There are plenty of ways to create/remove buttons and options via the registry. I'd think obfuscating an account would be viable as well.

If it's an AD domain you're wanting to do this in could you not set security on an OU to limit read on that, create a new group in it and add your users to that group, and the group to admins?
Might test this out when I get a spare min.

i didnt try it either but i think if you added them to any default admins group, domain, enterprises, etc
when you do a
net user "domain admins" /domain
they will still show up (assuming you used the domain admins security group)

I can't quite decide whether this is a serious post/request or someone being sarcastic..?
Why do I have a horrible feeling that it's the former
