    The Windows XP trick worked for me:
    1. Start the Registry Editor by clicking Start -> Run -> regedit.exe.
    2. Create a new Key with the name SpecialAccounts in:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon

    3. Create a new Key with the name UserList in:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonSpecialAccounts

    4. Open the UserList key and add for each user you don’t want to show a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with 0 as value.

    Example you can import and edit:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonSpecialAccountsUserList]
    "Guest"=dword:00000000
    "SomeServiceAccount"=dword:00000000

    Usernames of users can be found in the Local Users and Groups manager (start -> run -> lusrmgr.msc) or via start -> run -> cmd -> net user

    Good luck! 😉
