Login screen setup.
The situation I am attempting to accomplish is that my Windows 7 Pro machine (non-domain) has two accounts enabled: a standard user account (Joe) and the Administrator. After making this so, the login screen showed an icon for Administrator. Therefore, I researched the "fix" of adding a registry key... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList\ "Administrator" DWORD (0) ...which successfully hides the Administrator account from the login screen. However, now it might as well be as good as disabled. There's no way to specify I want to login as administrator. In the end I want both accounts to be able to log in, but only the icon for Joe to show up (standard user). Any suggestions? "Other user" doesn't show up, either, which might work.
