You cannot do this. You can only hide the account from the Welcome
screen in TweakUI > Logon. TweakUI is available from

That`s if he is using XP Professional, XP Home Edition doesn`t give you that
option to disable an account.

Hi,

You can hide the user folder, but at logon, you can still see the user logon
icon or if you have classic logon window, just type in the account logon id.
