Account Hide Tweak FAIL!Help!
This has got me in trouble big time!
First I created a fake account called admin.
Then I went to regedit and tweaked a bit since i wanted to hide my account whenever somebody else wanted to use my laptop.I wanted it so that it will be hidden from the control panel and everything else too WITHOUT DISABLING IT.Of course both accounts need to be admins if i wanted to reverse the changes(i knew that anybody else which entered could reverse this change if they knew regedit but.....I was confident that nobody else in the house is a tech nerd.)
I went to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon\
and created:\Special Accounts\UserList
I created two DWORDS and wrote my account name and put it's value 0 so it's hidden and typed the account name "admin" which i created before and changed it to 1.
It worked like a charm.I logged off,my account was hidden and there was this admin account only.I entered this and the i went to change the numbers vice versa so my account will be visible and this account will be hidden but i realised that the admin account i created was a STANDARD ACCOUNT!and so, just like that i was locked out of my own account by the security system I PROGRAMMED!
Sorry but i already disabled the original Administrator account before i knew this trick because i didn't want that account to be visible at startup too.
So that's the deal.Long story short,Administrator Account disabled,My account hidden,and some fake standard account is the only thing left,No other choice but to format?HELP!
