Is it possible for me to diable adding user for administratior users. I only
want to be able to add users using the administrator, but I need the other
users to continue to have administrator access for everything else.

Not really. Administrators can do anything. Another admin could even
delete your account or change the password

Can't I disable the control panel applet and use some registry tweaks to
disable users from accessing it?

Hi

There is several ways to create a user, e.g. right click on "My Computer"
and select Manage, go to "Local Users and Groups"/Users, right click and
select "New User..."

And with scripts, e.g. this command line will create an account with
user name newuser:

net.exe user newuser /ADD


You can also easily create an user account with VBScript.
