ah, a little googling... on 32bit windows.. registry entry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

has a value with the username and a DWORD of 0x00000000 to block the user
from being displayed.  on 64bit Win7 at least, this is in

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Is there a more universal, trans-windows platform api for a call to
make such a change?  Especially a switch at account creation time.


it appears to sort of be an afterthought.... I don't think there's any API or whatever. If I'd been designing it, I likely would have done it with group membership... like anyone who was a member of 'Login Users' or something. but hindsight is always 20-20.
