Vista Home: Where is Local Users?
That mmc console is not available in Home versions of Windows. You can
manage local user and groups via a command prompt with the NET command. Type NET /? for help. It's a pain but it has been that way since XP came out with Home and Pro versions. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca wrote in message ...

Vista Home: Where is Local Users?
You can't set up groups in the Control Panel applet. With the NET command
you can create security groups then add/remove users to the groups. I don't know if this would do any good with Home versions as they use simple file sharing but it is possible. I don't have any Home versions to test but I'm wondering if it's possible to add domain users via this method? -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca Why not use Control Panel/User Accounts? -- Regards, Hank Arnold Microsoft MVP Windows Server - Directory Services
