    Hm why you need to hide it in first place? Its hidden (disabled) by default as soon as you do that "first" username when you are installing and this step cant be skiped unless you have unattended instalation... you probably need to enable it in your case.

    That's not what I wanted... I wanted to do. I wanted to enable the Administrattor account so the Administrator could always login via local o ethernet but making it invisible to other users...

    Yes, you can, but all users have to fill the name & password each time (not really a problem, is it?)

    I guess it wont be a problem, but I prefer the WinXP method (CTRL+ALT+SUPR). Microsoft should take note!!! ;) :eek:

    You can set Windows 7 to login with CTRL+ALT+DEL as well. Run netplwz and click on advanced tab and click button to require users to logon with CTRL+ALT+DEL

    Hi from Belgium

    Try this to re-enable administrator account in Welcome Screen :
    Run first cmd as an adminisrator (CTRL+SHIFT and press enter at the same time) (this is the way to run it as an administrator)
    Type in cmd screen at prompt (without quotes and respect spaces) : """net user administrator /active:yes """
    close cmd
    Try to twist between user during the same session (not necessary to reboot)
    This is a powershell command that not all versions of W7 have
