Ms doesn't seem to have a clue as to what her or she is talking about.
User names are not stored in the registry, nor does ending a user name
with a $ sign hid the user account.

You mentioned user manager, yet you posted in the Windows 2000 news
group. There is no user manager in Windows 2000. What operating system
are you actually using, are you asking about a domain user account, or a
local user account, and what really is the goal here? What's the point
of hiding a user account?
