Hi Jon,

Other than ensuring that you're typing in the command line properly.
CONTROL USERPASSWORDS gets you the standard User Accounts window. CONTROL
USERPASSWORDS2 gets the older style user management dialog.

You can also use TweakUI for Windows XP to set the autologon information.

TweakUI is available from

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp (SP1 and
later systems)

systems)
