How would you hide a certain domain i.e. ABC.com from the list of domains to log into to a group or OU. I want a user to hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and int he drop down box have only the domains we want there.
 
Depending on how many, what type, and how they are related, it will vary. For example, my users get three items in the drop-down list...
Domain1 - A.D. Domain
Domain2 - NT Domain
Machine Name - Local Machine

If we wanted to remove Domain2 from the list, we would have to go to the "Active Directory Domains and Trusts" and then simply remove Domain2 as a trusted domain. I have researched this extensively, and it is the only way to remove the trust.
 
Be advised that there are other serious implications of removing a trust.

Completely agreed on that one... Trusts are usually setup for a purpose, so find out why the Trust was formed, etc. before implementing this move.

Just to be clear on my point though, the ONLY way to remove domains from the Login screen is to remove trusts... I have researched extensively (online, MCSE Instructors, etc etc.) and this was the only way that you can change the "Log on to" drop-down list.
