Create invisible and secret account in XP

If you want to keep you personal secrets which cannot be accessed by your friends by logging into your account, Simply make it invisible.
By meaning INVISIBLE, It won't be listed in the login screen. But if it is not listed in login screen, how would YOU login into it! READ ON!!!


Step 1: Simply Create a new account

















Step 2: Open the registry editor (i hope you know what is registry editor)

IN CASE: In case you don't know what is registry editor

Press Window key+R on you keyboard
Run box will appear, Type in 'regedit.exe'. There opens the registry editor


Step 3: Head on to
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Currentversion\Winlogon\SpeacialAccounts\Userlist

Step4: Create a new DWORD value with the same name as of your new account. In the example, the username was
§Secret§, so I created a new DWORD value with §Secret§ as its name.












If done correctly, Your invisible account will be created. Now, Restart. When the welcome screen comes you won't be able to see your invisible account (was it supposed to be visible!). Press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice [Dont worry, it won't restart]. A different screen will open. Type in the name of your secret account, (§Secret§ in my case) and your password (if applicable). Press OK and you'll login to your secret account.
Change settings, Customize it and one good thing is that, no one will ever be able to detect your secret account unless he/she is a hacker.
