Hello and I am new to this forum as I need help with "Hide admin account at the start up screen." I did download the file, Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable. I saved the file in download folder then extract this file to desktop. Then I click the " DisableUACforAdmin " now my question is that where is this registry go to? Because of asking is that after I clicked this and the message popped up on the screen and said below:

Registry Editor

/ ! \ Adding information can unintentionally change or delete values and cause components to stop
working correctly. If you do not trust the source of this information in
C:\Users\Mackay\Desktop\DisableUACforAdmin.reg, do not add it to the registry.

Are you sure you want to continue? [ Yes ] [ No ]

And I did go ahead to click this and not sure if it is working because I tried again to restart the computer and the icon on the screen still show. What have I done now with this?

Forgot to add that my operating system is Windows 7 64x Home Premium.

Your help would be appreciated!

Thank you,

John
