"User Accounts" AND "User Accounts 2" in Control Panel

[Opinicus]

Using WinXP Home all patches updates etc in place.

I just noticed that in the Control Panel I have a "User Accounts" icon AND a
"User Accounts 2" icon. Is this normal?

Note: This computer has only one user (me) and I'm logged on automatically
when Windows starts up.

Nope. Most likely, you've installed this tweak:

Bob,

The "User Accounts 2" icon is not present by default. Perhaps you applied
the fix at Line #1 sometime in the past.

Thank you for that info, I use that option quite frequently and now that
it is in the control panel make it much easier to get to.

You can rename that Control Panel Applet if that is too confusing.

You're welcome. Same here, that tweak was installed on all of my
machines long ago - making life somewhat easier.

I must have done because I've got a copy of AddUserPasswords2ToCP.reg in my
"Tweaks" folder. I'll take NewScience's advice and rename it.

Thanks everyone for replying.
