Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>configuration_manage (more info?)

Hello All,
I recently upgraded my Compaq notebook, running XP Home, to XP Pro with
the XP Pro Upgrade Program. I thought everything went well, until I tried
to connect to a domain. This is when I found that the User Accounts in
Control Panel still shows the XP Home version. There are not tabs, only the
icons for the current accounts (only Administrators and Guests).
I've tried a reinstall, but the results are the same--what can I do?

Thanks in Advance,
Ken

User Accounts that you get from control userpasswords is the default icon in
the Control Panel.

User Accounts that you get from control userpasswords2 is not in the Control
Panel by default, you have to add it.

Go here...
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Read the instructions at the top of the page.
1. Right hand side
Add ControlUserPasswords2 To Control Panel

Reinstalling XP will not add it.

The user control panel in Pro does not have tabs and it does look like the
one in XP Home. Apparently you're looking for a tool in Windows other than
User Accounts via Control Panel. Maybe one of these is what you're after?

Start> Run and type in control userpasswords2

-or- System properties> Advanced> User Profiles

-or- "Users and Groups" in Computer Management in Administrative Tools (can
also open this one typing lusrmgr.msc in the Run box).

When I type userpasswords2 in the Run box, I get a file not found error.
What I am trying to do is logon to a domain, but the logon box does not have
a Domain line--only username and password.

Thanks for your help.

I spoke too soon. While the Correct User Accounts box comes up, it does not
contain the column that says, "Domain." I still cannot logon to my domain.

Could it be that my upgrade went bad somewhere?

Thanks,
Ken

It doesn't sound like even that is going to do what you want. Have a read
here:

There are two User Accounts applets.

control userpasswords
and
control userpasswords2

They can be accessed in both Home and Pro.

If you try to add a user as a Power User in Home with, you'll end up in deep
doo doo.

Beats me, Ken. I don't know anything about domains. Type domain in the
search box in Help and Support, there's some info there. Nothing that
pertains to User Accounts that I could find.

control userpasswords2
