hello!
I just recently installed PostgreSQL for my HoldemManager application, and
after a restart, there was actually a new windows user account named postgre
on the startup along with my admin account for windows (if i didnt make it
clear -- the account to log in to windows, before windows start). So is that
a normal thing or not, because i know i didnt do anything wrong with
installation or the setup.
Yes, the PostgreSQL installation creates a "postgres" Windows user
account. This is normal and expected.
however, that user shouldn't show up on the "Welcome" friendly style
login screen. OTOH, I'm not sure what mechanism is used to prevent this.
ah, a little googling... on 32bit windows.. registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
has a value with the username and a DWORD of 0x00000000 to block the
user from being displayed. on 64bit Win7 at least, this is in
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
instead.
