WinXP and Win2000 little neat utility

[andrey]

Here?s a cool tip for all you XP HOME users and a decent one for all you 2K users:

Under XP

Go to: Start > Run > type: control userpasswords2

What this does is it lets you assign users to groups other than admin/limited, Home version WAS limited to Admin or Limited accounts, but this lil gem lets you assign Power Users (not included anywhere but here) and it lets you remove passwords from the system! I made a shortcut immediately in Administrative Tools.

Under 2000

Go to: Start > Run > type: control userpasswords

You can do something similar but you?re limited to mostly administrative functions. You can change passwords and add accounts. Pretty cool?

You can also go to Administrative Tools-->Computer Mangement

.. or even right click on My Computer >> Manage >> Users and Groups 🙂

However, knowing the command line lets you create a shortcut to the area right away. You can even put that shortcut in your Administrative Tools folder.
