managing user accounts in XP Pro

[Guest]

Is there a way to get user account management in WinXP Pro similar to Win2000
workstation?

I did a fresh install of XP Pro on a computer and during installation, it
asks me to add a user. When I did, it created the account and gave it admin
rights. I am currently logged in as Adminstrator and wanted to either delete
this other account and create a new one or at least change it's account type
to "Limited".

This computer is part of a home network which is set up as a workgroup
network. I noticed that XP workstations on domains have account management
like 2000 workstations. It would be nice if I could actually create users in
different Groups like Administrators and Power Users. Is this possible in XP
on a workstation that is not part of a domain?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Unless I have completely misunderstood what you want to do, try
Start/Control Pane/User Accounts and drill down to the account you want
to change. Then look for 'Change Account Type.'

Good luck.

It's exactly like Win2K -- Right-click My Computer > Manage >
Users and Groups.....
