I've been setting up a new database server with Windows Server 2008 DataCenter Edition and I have added users to run specific tasks with restricted permissions, such as filesharing or SQL Server users. I didn't want these accounts to appear on the initial Log-on screen when the system booted but there was no obvious way to hide specific users from this main screen in User Settings.
After trawling the net for a while I came across a great post from Brett Maytom detailing how to disable these users in Vista here. This works for me perfectly in Windows Server 2008.

New blog site
Hello.
This is my first venture in to the blogsphere and I hope that it will be the first of many. For the past few years, I and my colleague Dan have come up against quite a few programmer related difficulties for which we have either devised workarounds for or managed to overcome.
We plan to use this blog to act as a memory bank for what we have done, so that we can call on it next time we need to do something similar and to share our experience and hopefully offer solutions so that other people trying to do the same things as we have can find it a useful resource as well. We have made use of other people's blogs and newsgroup posts to aid us in the past and feel like we ought to put something back in to the online community.
The core of this blog is likely to be Microsoft .NET or SQL Server related. But we have also done a lot of Microsoft Office VBA and automation of other software from .NET to control Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Acrobat, Microsoft Office, SAS, SPSS, MatLab and MapInfo amongst others. Hopefully we'll be able to help other people trying to do the same thing.
I'll be back with a more techie post soon.
