Can I edit profiles.ini to hide a user's name from the profile manager's list?

Removing the entry makes the profile inaccessible as near as I can tell. I tried obvious name/value combinations but no luck (hide, hidden, visible, show...). Where can I go to learn all possible ways to edit this file? Already looked in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file

My file looks like this, 'cr' is the one I would like to remove from the list (it's not in the default location if that helps):

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=Ron's profile IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/ps45kylq.default Default=1

[Profile1] Name=Bee IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/7aorkyy5.Bee

[Profile2] Name=cr IsRelative=0 Path=D:\Users\Public\cr\Firefox

hi c.r., you could try to remove that profile from profiles.ini totally and just launch it with a custom firefox shortcut: 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile "D:\Users\Public\cr\Firefox"

Thanks Philipp, that did the trick. I added -no-remote to my shortcut and now the other users can get on and use their profiles while mine is running and vice versa.
