Hidden Administrator Account?

It may be a moot point as I'm not sure they are even using encryption to protect files and folders. This is not a very sophisticated operation in that sense, though it would probably be a good idea to do so.

Check out this reg key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList

If there's a reg_dword with the user's name inside that key, it will not be visible at the login screen.

Thanks. I'm leaving well enough alone for now as the accounts are now functional. I don't like mucking around in the registry unless there is a necessity.
