I figured it out on my own. I needed to Enable the User
account on the Welcome Screen. This is how I did it:
Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList (note
that there is a space in the Windows NT).
Right click in the right pane and select New, DWord
value. Give the value the same name as the Username on
the Welcome Screen (it must match) for the account you
wish to hide/show. Double click the new value and set it
to 1 to show the account on the Welcome Screen, or set it
to 0 to hide the account.
Example: dwdweb is a user on the computer, dwdweb would
be the name you give the new value.
I hope this helps anyone else who was trying to find a
solution to a problem similar to mine.
