Create A Hidden User Account in windows XP

For our own privacy purpose or say it for security we can maintain and
Create A Hidden User Account under
windows xp operating system. This tweak allows an account that is
normally displayed on the Welcome
screen to be hidden from view.
To log
on using the account it’s necessary to
use the Log On To Windows dialog
box similar to the one in Windows 2000.
