I should have added that you can create a standalone Local Users and
Groups console by doing the following. Go to Start -> Run and enter
mmc.exe in the Open box. Click File on the toolbar at the top of the
window and select Add/Remove Snap-in from the menu.In the Add/Remove
Snap-in dialog, hit the Add button. In Add Standalone Snap-in, select
Local Users and Groups in the Snap-in box. Hit the Add button. On Choose
Target Machine, Local Computer should be selected. Hit the Finish button.
Close Add Standalone Snap-in. Hit the OK button in Add/Remove Snap-in.
Click on the + sign next to Local Users and Groups in the left hand pane.
Click on the appropriate folder and make your changes in the right hand
pane. When you're finished, click on File and select Save as from the
menu. Name the new console Local Users and Groups.

Or you can type in lusrmgr.msc at Start/Run.

Take your pick.

1. Right click My Computer. Select Mange from the menu. In Computer
Management, click on Local Users and Groups.

2. Go to Start -> Run and enter lusrmgr.msc in the Open box. Click OK.

Good luck

Thanks that's great. Not where it belongs, but finable.

My last quesion if you know. Where to I set the number of login attempts
allowed before account lockedout?

Thanks again.
Bruce.

When you're finished, click on File and select Save as from the menu.
Name the new console Local Users and Groups.

I believe the default is to save it in your account's Start menu folder
under All Programs -> Administrative Tools. Keep in mind that you have to
elect to display Administrative Tools on the Start menu from Control
Panel -> Taskbar and Start Menu. I suppose you could save the console to
any handy location you want.

As for your question about lockout policy, do the following.
Go to Control panel and double click Administrative Tools.
Double click Local Security Policy.
Note: You can also launch this console from the Run dialog by entering
secpol.msc in the Open box.
In the Local Security console, click on the + sign next to Account
Policies in the left hand pane.
Click on Account Lockout Policy.
In the right hand pane, double click on Account lockout threshold and set
your limit.
Click OK to accept the suggested value changes. You can go back and change
them later if you wish.

Good luck
