    My company requires a screensaver for all active accounts on windows.  When I open manage users I find the the user nx is not shown or is invisible.

    If I run net user from the command line it is listed and can even look at it’s properties

    How can I change that user so it shows up in the mange accounts control panel application and from there set a screensaver timeout?

    Since the userid is not there it is also not available as a login ID either.

    ‘nx’ user account is created only for NoMachine services, you are not able to login on this account using any other protocol than NX. That’s why this account is hidden.

    If you need to make ‘nx’ account visible you can change an entry in registry:

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList\nx

    change value from ‘0’ to ‘1’

    Wasn’t sure it was a problem.  Also not sure I want another login user called nx.

    Any rate,

    windows 7 professional running 4.2.5 free
    this is an ID that nomachine puts on the machine called nx
    nothing to do with the display physical, or virtual

    I use this machine to remote to other machines

    from the command line
    C:\Users\Administrator>net user

    User accounts for \\(edited info)

    ——————————————————————————-
    (edited info)       (edited info)                 nx
    The command completed successfully.

    I use this machine to remote to other machines

    If you only want to connect from this Windows machine and not also to it, it’s enough to install Enterprise Client for Windows.
