Chris;

Start | Run | control userpasswords | OK |
Brings up User Accounts, the one you get from Control Panel/User Accounts.

I did remember that lusrmgr.msc Local Users and Groups (Local)
Will bring up this message in Home::
[This computer is running Windows XP Home Edition. This snapin may not be
used with that version of Windows. To manage user accounts for this
computer, use the User Accounts tool in the Control Panel]

Start | Run | control userpasswords2 | OK |
Brings up User Accounts, the one you would get from My Computer/Manage/Local
Users and Groups.

>From KB817365
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817365

[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.]

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
