Looking to disable a user accounts interactive logon
Ultimate SP1 here.
Just curious if this is possible. I moved in with some roommates and I wanted to allow them access to some file shares on my PC across our LAN. Since it prompts on their end for authentication, I didnt want to supply my logon, as that would allow write access to the files being shared, and I only want to allow read access.
So I created a new local user account (friends) which they can use to authenticate when trying to access my shares. This works fine. However, I still dont want them sitting down at my PC and logging in with this friends account. Is there a way to allow a user account to exist, yet disallow interactive logon (and hopefully remove it from the welcome screen as well)?
Thanks much in advance.
