User Accounts error

Nonya

I'm using Windows XP pro SP2

When I try to access User Accounts from Control Panel I get an Error.

"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.".

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Most probably the User applet's file is damaged. Go to Windows\System32
and look for ntusrmgr.cpl - r-click and rename it as say ntusrmgr.cpx

File Protection will bring back a new copy in a few seconds. Reboot to
make sure that one is the one that comes into use (you can then delete
the old one)
