Not sure if this is the right list, and you probably know about this
already, was wondering if there's a fix imminent:
After installing postgresql-9.0.1-1-windows.exe on 64-bit windows 7, the
'postgres' user is visible as a new user that allows screen logins. I
looked into this and it's because it's not correctly identified in the
*64-bit*
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
registry key. It appears that the installer created the postgres=0
value under the above registry key path but since the installer program
is 32-bit that value ended up in
HKLM\\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384129%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
for how to fix this.
See

for how to correct it manually.
If there's already an installer that corrects this, it's be great to
learn about it.
Thanks,
Tom
