hi all
this is my first post to the group, hoping to find a solution
to the
problem.
I am using Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 SP2 on my
laptop and
i have created 2 accounts one as an administrator for myself
and one
for my friend which is a limited account.
Now i want that for this limited account my friend should not
be able
to change the password.For achieving this i tried to use the
MMC in
this case the computer management console. But the problem i
am
facing is that i am not getting the Local Users and Groups
section
under system tools section in the console.
Can anybody enlighten me why is this happening and does it
have to be
installed or something to be used in the console.

Keep in mind that as an administrator, you can go into the User
Account applet in Control Panel and change his password at any
time. Since there's no danger of losing access to encrypted
files in XP Home, this is a much safer procedure than it is in
XP Pro.
If you want to prevent your friend from changing the password,
try the following.
Open a command prompt window (Start -> Run -> enter cmd.exe in
the Open box).
At the command prompt enter the following command where you
substitute the name of your friends account for ACCTNAME.
net user ACCTNAME /passwordchg:no
For more info, take a look at this article.
