You will be able to access user accounts if you type this into the "Run"
box:

"control userpasswords2" (without quotes of course).

Then, click on "Add..." button and add one more user account.
Reboot your system.
Then see what happens when you try to access User Accounts in CP.

Even better, I found a link in Microsoft Support that explains all
about it and I think it should work for you:

Let me know if you solve this problem.

Poor advice.


*DO NOT* use the Userpasswords2 applet to add or modify users in Windows XP
Home Edition. This tool is reserved for Windows XP Professional Edition.

XP Home users should use control userpasswords *NOT* control userpasswords2.
