postgres user not hidden on 64-bit windows7

Not sure if this is the right list, and you probably know about this already, was wondering if there's a fix imminent:

After installing postgresql-9.0.1-1-windows.exe on 64-bit windows 7, the 'postgres' user is visible as a new user that allows screen logins. I looked into this and it's because it's not correctly identified in the *64-bit* HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList registry key. It appears that the installer created the postgres=0 value under the above registry key path but since the installer program is 32-bit that value ended up in HKLM\\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384129%28v=vs.85%29.aspx for how to fix this.

See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproui/thread/16378967-8a39-4aef-85e4-d859a71648d3

for how to correct it manually.

If there's already an installer that corrects this, it's be great to learn about it.

Thanks,

Tom
