XP passworld logon problem

[patrick]

I want to have 2 passwords for my windows xp so i dont have to make a new account. is that possable?
if its not possable can someone please try to make a program for me?
the only reason i want two password is because i want to try to trick my brother. he always gets on the computer and deletes my stuff off of it so i dont want him to know i have 2 diff acounts cuz hell tell my mom and ill have to delete it.

Could do a screen saver or stand-by with a password. They are both in the display properties.

but is there any way to put two profiles into one or hide one?

Pretty easy to hide an account from the welcome screen. Say you have an account called Patrick2 on your computer.
Open your registry editor (start > run > regedit)
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
On the right near the registry name .. right click and go to New > DWORD value and change the name to Patrick2
You shouldnt be able to see the account from the Welcome screen.
To login to the account .. you need to press CTRL+ALT+DEL twice at the welcome screen and enter the username Patrick2 and appropriate password.

Now this isn't a fool proof solution. It is possible to see the existence of the account through numerous other ways (looking in C:\Documents and Settings\ is one really quick method).

You've posted on this board before with this sibling rivalry .. you're either hiding your stuff or want to hack into his account etc. I hardly think that this forum is the place for this. You need to deal with the issues in a more mature fashion by talking it out with your brother or having your parent intervene on your behalf.
