After installation of Windows 7, for security reasons - by default you'll notice that the built-in Administrator account is disabled. If you will enable the account for administrative usages, it will be shown at the welcome screen.
How will you hide any account name?
Using Tweakui at Windows XP

Using Windows Registry (regedit.exe) from Tweakui
Proceed and create the registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
Right-Click > use Dword (32-Bit) Value > “Administrator” as the name or any username and data 0 to hide and 1 to show.
