| 113058 | 2003-01-12 01:29:00 | If you go to Run and type "control userpasswords2", it brings up a different box than the one you can get to through control panel normally. Is there a way to get to this one without using the Run dialog? | tango (2697) | ||
| 113059 | 2003-01-12 02:35:00 | Tango, Right MouseClick on desktop Select NEW| SHORTCUT In the "Type the location of the item:" box put control userpasswords2 Click NEXT In the "Type a name for this shortcut:" box put something like Manage Users Click FINISH If you want to change the icon of this short cut then Right MouseClick the new shortcut and select PROPERTIES | CHANGE ICON Click OK to the Warning message box that appears Select an appropriate icon from the %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll that is displayed and click OK All done... Cheers, Babe. |

| 113062 | 2003-01-12 04:03:00 | Tango, Just to give you an idea: The Workgroup version (not available in domain environment) is control userpasswords and the Windows 2000/domain version is control userpasswords2 So if you WANT to put the previous Userpasswords in the Control Panel then you will would need to modify the System Registry Babe |

| 113063 | 2003-01-12 04:06:00 | Tango, And what the heck for those WinXP Home users who want to do such things as modify the local Administrator name etc: Because the Local Security Settings snap-in isn't available in Windows XP Home Edition, you can't use it to change the name of the Administrator account. However, you can change the user name by launching the Windows 2000-style User Accounts. At a command prompt, type control userpasswords2. Then select Administrator and click Properties. Be sure you change the user name, not the full name. Babe. |
