    So i have to setup passwords for both accounts before I enable the netplwiz?
    And this will correct the issue with the ghost account?

    First, make sure the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer box is checked in netplwiz.

    Second, make sure both accounts have a password.

    Wouldn’t that required both users to be forced to enter a password at logon?
    Thank for all your help on this.

    It would, but without a password, Windows could automatically sign in to the account if it was the last user.

    You could make the password something easy to remember though.

    Ugh that’s what I’m trying to avoid.
