[QUOTE="MLH01, post: 476204, member: 89532"] I have run into an obstacle with this. I have enabled the full admin account as per Paranoid Delusion's link [url="http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=537806"]* here *[/url]. I don't want to remove my current user account in case it deletes the files in it. Is there a way to disable a user so that it does not appear in the logon screen? The problem is if there are 2 or more users in the logon screen, the PC will wait at the logon screen after reboot. This would not be satisfactory for a PC that is set up to record at various times, as you'd want it to boot straight into the required account and run the TV service to perform subsequent recordings. Anyone know a way of disabling all user accounts except one (the full admin account in this case), and without removing user files from the disabled accounts? If it can be done, then I'd be happy to try this all out. I don't want to try something that will break my HTPC (WAF will drop even further) :) I guess that is the reason the linked site recommends doing this after a fresh install... MLH01. EDIT: Found out how to disbale a user account without deleting the data - net user <username> /active:no ([B]NOT[/B] to be done on the main account. At least one account with administrator priveleges must be active - i.e. enable an administrator account before disabling another). To re-enable, use 'yes' instead of 'no'. [/QUOTE]
