Neil Atwood gave me the "control userpasswords2" command line last year (I'd saved that particular email for future reference). I don't recall what I was trying to do at the time, but it didn't help anyway. It looks like a leftover Pro command that wasn't removed from Home. Some things it can do in Home, other things it tries to do and can't because Home just doesn't have the components. I don't think it would help much here either.

It boils down to, Home just isn't Pro.

That's the command I was trying to recall. So it doesn't work? Oh well, as you say Home just isn't Pro.

It would appear to be:

1) The XP Pro style "Local users and groups" management tool (to manage Groups) is not available in Home.

2) The XP Pro style "Local Security Settings" management tool (to set Polices) is not available in Home.

I believe those two items were what Bernie was looking for in XP Home.
