If you have "Show common tasks enabled in folders" enabled in Folder Options, then there will be a link on the left side to switch between classic view (like win2k) or the XP category view. If you have it disabled, then it will only show the classic view.

oops, sorry, now I know what you mean.... I can't find any way to change it. You can manage users through Computer Management (right-click My Computer -> Manage...), but I don't think that's what you're looking for. I will post again if I find something...

ThC 129,
 
I kinda know what your talking about, although I cant remember the last time I used the W2K user control panel. I always used Computer Management myself (Still do )
 
AFAIK, theres no way to change the User CP in Control Panel.

Run this:

lusrmgr.msc

(Is that what you mean by "User Control Panel"???)

*

APK

P.S.=> That's Local Machine User Manager, usually part of the MMC.exe Computer Management tool, but the individual microsoft shortcut .msc snap-ons can be run independently because they are associated with MMC.exe apparently... run that from Start Button-> Run Command... apk


Well, Hell!

Waitaminnit! Thats the same as using computer management!

Guess we were both right

I think hes talking about the W2K version of XPs Control Panel > Users. W2Ks I think was different, but I cant be sure, as I never really used it.

Hope that is what you are looking for.

Strange. It should bring up the User Accounts screen used on Windows 2000.
 
Here's the command again,
 
control userpasswords2
 
I am using Windows XP pro and I think it only works on pro

Yup, Thc129 & Alec Starr;
 
Run - control userpasswords2 works fine under WinXP Pro.
