Administrators and Welcome Screen

Posted: 08-23-2006, 03:50 PM
Hi there,

sorry if that was asked already but I've found nothing similar although
posted to general NG, too.

I don't want to have any administrator's user name on the welcome
screen. Just the user's names are to be seen there. I'm using different
naming schemes for admins and users and just looking at the welcome
screen gives a hint what account is different. So same way as in XP I
removed administrators from the wlcome screen. That worked fine, all
admins gone. But now I can't run any programs as administrator because
remving them from the welcome screen removes them from the list of
administrators in the context menus as well. The only way to get
anything to run as admin is to use runas what is kind of cumbersomely.
In XP this was no prob at all.

Has anyone experimented with that already?

BTW: Vista is Build 5472.

Pit
