Hey,

Anyone know how I could set up an admin account so that it doesn't appear on any login screens, but you can still use it to type in for the installing of programs?

Thanks!
 
System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options > Display Login window as: Name and password.

But I don't know about the installation of software in a non-administrator account using the administrator password. You'll have to try.

Btw., why do you wanna have it this way?
