I have several users set up on my machine (local accounts), including 1 that I specifically use for things such as banking.
Aim here is obviously to keep that account as secure as possible.
The problem I have issues with is ...
Anyone trying to log into my machine, is presented with a list of available user accounts to choose from.
This obviously includes my 'banking' account.
My personal theory is this : if someone doesnot know a user account exists, they are less likely to try and get in it!
Hence I would like to hide this account, and like in previous versions of windows, force users to explicitly enter both username and password in order to gain access to my machine.
I know in W7, I had to do some fiddling in Policy Settings or suchlike to enable this .... but for the life of me I cannot remember how I did it exaclty.
I recall that for W7 it was an easy Google to get instructions - yet I am struggling with W8.
Anyone shed any light on how to do this ?
Many Thanks
