This afternoon I set up a Win Server 2008 R2 system for use with Team Foundation source code control. In order to give my team-mates the right to connect, I had to create a user account for each person, 10 in total. (I can't, and I don't want to create a domain).
Now, after doing this, all user accounts are displayed in the login screen.
What can I do so that all the accounts are not displayed there?

There's a parameter in the registry to control display of accounts on the "Welcome Screen".
Dig down to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" and create a new key called "SpecialAccounts". Create a subkey of "SpecialAccounts" called "UserList". In the "UserList" key, create a DWORD value with the name of the account you want to hide, and leave the value of that DWORD set to 0. Do this for every account you want to hide.
