How to Create Hidden User Account (Hide User Account from Welcome Screen) in Windows

• Click on the start menu and type "Create User"

• Select either "Create Standard User Account" or "Create Administrator User Account" (both will take you to the same exact screen, glitch?)

• Now select either Administrator or Standard User.
  
  • Generally, people will be creating a hidden administrator account as a regular hidden user account is kind of powerless to do... anything... but I'll leave this up to you.
• My Accounts name for this tutorial is HiddenkovAccountski

• Click on Create Account. It will appear under the account management dialog.

• The Account is not yet hidden. Giving it a devious slavic undertone does not yet trigger this feature. Windows 8?

• Click on the start menu, type in regedit, press enter.

• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis t\

• If "UserList" does not exist, right click on SpecialAccounts, and click on New Key, then type in UserList and press enter.

• You must now add your account-to-be-hidden here. To do this:
• Right click on UserList, Select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value

• Type the name of the account-to-be-hidden exactly. For example: HiddenkovAccountski

• You're done. Simply delete this value to allow the account to reappear to the welcome screen.

What is a hidden user account useful for?

A Strictly Hypothetical Scenario:

Lets say you don't trust your girlfriend for some stupid reason (Like, She got you this watch and she had it engraved GophaKTorselv, and "KT" was the initials of her idiot ex boyfriend, Kristov Thompson who she dated for 3 years before you and you swear she's still thinking of him and hasn't ever really gotten over him...) so you want full access to her Laptops "User" directory, remotely... but she doesn't have her account password locked, so you can't use remote desktop or share files.

Mind you, the "User" directory contains My Documents, My Pictures, My Everything.

So, to give yourself remote access, you can use Advanced Sharing, remove "Everyone" from the share and add HiddenkovAccountski to have Full Control over the share. You can check it out whenever you want now!




PROCEDURE NO 2 :

In order to hide a user account (which also means create a hidden user account) in Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7, just go to Control Panel User module and create an additional user as usually do (Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts in Windows 7 and Windows Vista). If you already have an existing user that wants to be made hidden, invisible or disappeared from Welcome Screen, then go straight to guide below.

1. Run Registry Editor (RegEdit.exe).
2. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
   
   Note: If SpecialAccounts and UserList is not found, create new sub-key and name them accordingly.
3. Select UserList, and in the right pane, right click on any blank space, and point to New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value.
4. Name the new DWORD registry value name as the exact same name that match the name of the user account to be hidden. For example, if the user ID of the user account is John, the name the registry value as John.
5. Double click on DWORD registry value, and set the value data to 0 in oder to hide the account from Welcome Screen. Tip: To display the user account on Welcome Screen again so that it’s visible again, delete the registry entry, or set the value data to 1.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Log off or restart computer to make the change effective.

Tip: In order to login into Windows using an user account that has made hidden and invisible, just press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Windows Logon dialog, and then type in the user name and password manually.

VNC Server configuration for linux

Check what's installed

First check if you already have them installed on your system, open a terminal and type:

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i vnc*

vnc-server-4.1.2-14.el5_3.1

vnc-4.1.2-14.el5_3.1
If package does not exist then need to install this package

[root@localhost ~]# yum install vnc* -y

[root@localhost ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

VNCSERVERS="2:root"

 VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600 -depth 16 "

The important part is the VNCSERVERS="1:root", this sets up a users for the vnc server, you can add as many as you like here. The VNCSERVERARGS[1]

line refers to the arguments for user 1, in this case the only user. Geometry sets the size and depth sets the colour depth, you can adjust these to

suit your preferences but in my case the client machine has a resolution of 1024x768 and the depth 16 makes the connection a bit faster since the less

Setting a password

To add some security we need to add a password that must be given before a connection can be established, open a terminal and type:

[root@localhost ~]# vncpasswd

Password:

Verify:

[root@localhost .vnc]# vim /root/.vnc/xstartup

unset SESSION_MANAGER

exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[root@localhost .vnc]# chmod 770 /root/.vnc/xstartup

[root@localhost .vnc]# /etc/init.d/vncserver restart

Shutting down VNC server: 2:root                           [FAILED]

Starting VNC server: 2:root xauth:  creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority

New 'localhost.localdomain:2 (root)' desktop is localhost.localdomain:2

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup

Log file is /root/.vnc/localhost.localdomain:2.log

                                                           [  OK  ]

Now we  will access VNC Server with TightVNC Server software :
 

For exit press SHIFT+CTRL+ALT+F

Stopping the vncserver

There are two ways to stop the server, either as root:

$ /sbin/service vncserver stop

Shutting down VNC server: 1:bobpeers                        [  OK  ]

or you can explicitly kill a particular session without being root:

$ vncserver -kill :1

Killing Xvnc process ID 13728

Just replace the 1 with the vnc session you wish to stop.
