I have scripted NoWelcome.bat to hide user names on the Windows XP Welcome screen.

The syntax for using NoWelcome.bat is:

NoWelcome User1 \[User2 . . . UserN\]

Where only the first user name is required.

NoWelcome.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
if \{%1\}
\{\} goto syntax
(
@echo REGEDIT4
@echo.
@echo \[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList\]
)>"%TEMP%\NoWelcome.tmp"
:loop
if \{%1\}
\{\} goto finish
set user=%1
shift
set user=%user:"=%
@echo "%user%"=dword:00000000>>"%TEMP%\NoWelcome.tmp"
goto :loop
:finish
@echo.>>"%TEMP%\NoWelcome.tmp"
@echo.>>"%TEMP%\NoWelcome.tmp"
regedit /s "%TEMP%\NoWelcome.tmp"
del /q "%TEMP%\NoWelcome.tmp"
endlocal
goto :EOF
:syntax
@echo Syntax: NoWelcome User1 \[User2 . . . UserN\]
endlocal
