Hide User Account

Hi all.
I'd created an new user account (by using NET USER in command line) because
i need an special user so that my app can run as like that user.
The problem is that the new user accont appears on win xp start up, and
although it has pass, i don't want others users could see than the account
exists.

Is there any way to hide the account on win startup without desactiving it ?

Regards

Open following regestry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserLis

create there DWORD value Title with your account and give it value
Reboot your machine

See your new username disappear from logon screen.
