Hiding/Showing Users on Login Screen

Is there a way to hide users on the login screen without deleting their account? For example in Windows I hid my sister's account (using PowerToys) which left her account as it was, just her name didn't appear on the Login screen. I ask because I want to remove the 'Other...' icon from my Login screen that is the Root account. If not how do I remove my Root account?
 
Disable root access, (through netinfo manager) the root account is gone! (actually just disabled). You can quickly re-enable when you need that access.
 
Just use "sudo su" when you want to mess with root. I even have an alias in my ~/.cshrc: alias root 'sudo su'

Regarding hiding users on the login screen... I don't really understand your question, but you may be interested in HideOrShowPreviousLogin. Also, have your tried changing the "Display Login Window as" under Accounts in System Preferences?
