Creating Invisible and Secret Account on Windows XP

(For full text with comments please click on the title)

If you want to keep you personal secrets which cannot be accessed by your friends by logging into your account, Simply make it invisible.

Meaning INVISIBLE, it won't be listed in the login screen. But if it is not listed in login screen, how would YOU login into it!!! FOR THIS READ ON BELOW !!!

Step 1: Simply Create "A new Account"







Step 2: Open the registry editor (hope you know what is registry editor)

IN CASE: In case you don't know what is registry editor

Press Window key+R on your keyboard
Run box will appear, Type in 'regedit.exe'. There opens the registry editor for you.

Step 3: Head on to
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Currentversion\Winlogon\SpeacialAccounts\Userlist

Step4: Create a new DWORD value with the same name as of your new account. In the example, the username was
§Secret§, so I created a new DWORD value with §Secret§ as its name.



If all done correctly, your invisible account will be created. Now, Restart. When the welcome screen comes you won't be able to see your invisible account (when it was supposed to be visible!). Press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice [Dont worry, it won't restart]. A different screen will open. Type in the name of your secret account, (§Secret§ in my case) and your password (if applicable). Press OK and you'll login to your secret account.
Change settings, Customize it and one good thing is that, no one will ever be able to detect your secret account unless he/she is a hacker.

Hope this information is useful to you all, thank you.
