Hide User Accounts @ Login Screen

[The Quicken]

I'm trying to do this for Win 7 Pro but it won't work.

Reference I'm using is--

I tested this tutorial under win 7 ultimate too.So Please check carefully.
1.Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\Winlogon
2.New key SpecialAccounts under Winlogon
3.New key UserList under SpecialAccounts
4.In the right pane of UserList ,New DWORD(32-bit) and name it to the account name you want to hide,then press Enter ,then double-click it and set the value to “0″
Note:If you are using win7 64-bit version,maybe you should choose DWORD(64-bit) in step 4.

Any suggestions?

What do you want to acheive?
Do you want to automatically log into a password protected account when you boot, or do you want to "hide" the accounts?

you can change the type of login screen to hide the users

and ppl have to type in the user id and password
just like older versions of windows

if thats what you want

Hide User Account from Welcome Screen

Thanks, that's basically the same tutorial I found, dosn't work for me...I'm missing something.

also that info is from 2 years ago...

so they may have changed the login screen again since that time

[roh_ultima]

and i'm 99% sure CAPS matter

i'll make another account and try it

[roh_ultima]

well i made 2 accounts

test
hide

i did the above steps and was able to hide "hide"

so it works

i couldn't figure out how to login to hide
but wasn't trying that hard.

so ya make sure the cap letters are there

Well you are right, it works just fine.

I was choosing 64bit value based on the reasoning that my OS is 64bit. I was sure I originally tried 32bit and it failed--
