Kent;
I don't quite understand what you mean by ["control userpasswords2" is the
2K version.]
I missed the part about being on a network. On a stand alone machine, with XP
Home.
control userpasswords2 Brings up User Accounts, the one you would get from My
Computer/Manage/Local Users and Groups.

[The userpasswords2 applet should not be used on WINDOWS XP Home Edition as a
tool to edit or modify users. It is reserved for WINDOWS XP Professional
Edition. The reason for this is that userpasswords2 allows the user to access to
the 'Power Users' group which doesn't exist on WINDOWS XP Home Edition.]
Interesting, I see people recommending using userpasswords2 all the time
without regard to which version a user has.

control userpasswords Brings up User Accounts, the one you get from Control
Panel/User Accounts. This also brings up mshta.exe = Microsoft (R) HTML
Application host.
