How to make a hidden account in XP

[Aspire]

Step 1
First create a new user account in xp,through user accounts.

Step 2
Go to RUN type regedit and open

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList" .

Step 3
In the right side you can where you see a list just right click in empty area and select a new DWORD
value and rename it to your user account's name.

Step 4
Just refresh the registry(F5).
Wow! your account is not displayed in user accounts (nusrmgr.cpl)

Step 5
Now you can't see your account in logon screen so how to access it , just press ctrl+alt+del twice a new window opens at login screen.
Enter your username and password(if not set leave it blank)



Warning: Backup the registry before trying this ^^



EDIT

To get the account back in list, delete the DWORD value.

U got someone's PC unattended with Admin acces.

U want to access it again but don't want to let him know.
What do u do, create a new account and hide it from world.

Only u will be able to know about it.

But, wouldn't it create a account related folder in "Documents and Settings"??

Actually the user is not hidden. If u go to computer management->Local user and groups->users (at right side pane u will see the hidden user) Which is not appearing in user account (nusrmgr.cpl)

If you have a limited account then to make your account hidden, start the computer in safe mode which is gonna have administrator privileges.
