 Method 1 - Use CMD & Registry Editor

1. Click 'Start', search for "CMD" then right-click 'Run as Administrator'. Copy the command below and paste (right-click to paste) to Command Prompt window.



Command Prompt:

mkdir "c:\Ricoh Scan"
net user /add scanner Scann3r!
net user scanner Scann3r!
net share "Ricoh Scan"="c:\Ricoh Scan" /GRANT:scanner,FULL
mklink /D "%userprofile%\Desktop\Ricoh Scan" "c:\Ricoh Scan"
wf.msc

WMIC USERACCOUNT WHERE Name='scanner' SET PasswordExpires=FALSE 
pause 
net user scanner
pause
echo\ %computername% 
pause 

 



2. Hide newly created user to prevent messy login screen.

To hide newly created username from LogOn Screen, go to Registry Editor [Regedit]. Create new key (SpecialAccounts & UserList) (Refer path below) create "DWORD (32-bit) Value" named "scanner" in registry & set value to "0" (zero).

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList


Or download .reg file below, run and accept all.
