How to hide other user icons at sign on screen.

IROKRUOK2 · 14 Mar 2012

I am the primary user of my computer and would like to see only my icon at the
Sign On screen. There are 2 other infrequent users and I would like to hide their icons and just show mine. Recently on two occasions when I booted up the Sign On screen had only my icon and I was pleasently surprised. I was not aware this was even possible, and still do not know what I did to make this happen. It seems
to me that there is a way to adjust the software to make this happen at every boot up. I spent hours seaching this site but could not find any information on how to accomplish this.

Hello IROKRUOK2,

If you like, you could use the tutorial below to set Windows 7 to require users to enter both their user name and password to hide all user icons on the log on screen.

Log On with User Name and Password

Hope this helps,
Shawn
