Thanx for the kind support.

cmd /c start control userpasswords2?

There is another way, faster one

nusrmgr.cpl

raza, lets get it clear - you want to add "control userpasswords2" to the control panel ?

 ;-----  Adds Userpasswords2 to control panel

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}]
@="User Accounts 2"
InfoTip"="Starts The Windows 2000 style User Accounts dialog"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}\DefaultIcon]
@="%SystemRoot%\\\\System32\\\\nusrmgr.cpl,1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}\Shell\Open\command]
@="Control Userpasswords2"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}]
@="Add Userpasswords2 to Control Panel"

This was in the registry tweaks topic.

Combine this tweak with the one one to cascade Control Panel from start menu - and you'll have good manageability in the menus (Start >> Control Panel >> User Accounts 2).

net user /?

uhm...

When you type in the given string to your run box, you get a dialog box, with more than one tab, and can do more than one thing. This is why I asked, and as you can see from the diversity of answers, has been proved.

My addition:

Start => Run => lusrmgr.msc

(you could even make a shortcut to it)

Right click, for instance, on the desktop => New => Shortcut => lusrmgr.msc => Next => Local User Manager => Finish

It'll even get a pretty picture for an icon, just Double click it to use.

Then you could, depending upon what you wish to achieve, go to

Users left pane => Double Click your chosen user right pane => Make the unknown changes

That´s what I´m saying, it wasn´t a joke .

@ puntoMX

I know, it was good advice and seeing as it appears to have been ignored, I thought it should be mentioned again. After all adding it to the control panel is only really a shortcut, but fixed in one position, as too is creating a user defined snapin for the MMC. Even making a little cmd /batch with the command in, could probably be better served with either a shortcut, or right click extension!

As I said in my original reply, the questioner needs to make their intentions known, rather than how do I invoke this without typing it into the run box.

The "diversity" of answers all relate to how to access this particular box, nothing to do with what he wants to do with it. It's not relevant in this post. Thank you.

The question appears confusing enough, please try not to confuse your responses. Using nusrmgr.cpl brings up a different box to the one brought up whilst using the run dialog as in the original question. The net user /? brings up a dos box and lusrmgr.msc also returns a different dialog box, although all three of those options may be capable of fulfilling the requirements of the poster.

More likely than not, the reg tweak posted above is what he is looking for.

Ow man... what is it with this guy!!!

He didn't ask for "net user" or "nusermgr", he asked for "control userpasswords2 ". He didn't ask WHAT one could do with it, he asked for alternatives to OPEN the box. YOU are the one that's confusing the responses. How many times must I repeat myself. Jeeez...
