I don't know if this helps, but with the following regtweak, you add the classic user control to control panel.

;Classic user control in control panel

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}]

@="User Accounts(classic view)"

"InfoTip"="Starts The Classic User Control"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}\DefaultIcon]

@="%SystemRoot%\\\\\\\\System32\\\\\\\\nusrmgr.cpl,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{98641F47-8C25-4936-BEE4-C2CE1298969D}\Shell\Open]

[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}]

@="user accounts (classic view)"

You just have to modify a litlle bit and should work

Where does the CLSID entry come from? When I want to add my own program shortcut, can I choose any CLSID, which isn't defined?

Thanks in advance.

If you search the web you should find a freeware tool which will create unique GUIDs.

One such example from Microsoft can be found here.
