Default Re: User Account in Control Panel is Home Version

There are two User Accounts applets.

control userpasswords
and
control userpasswords2

They can be accessed in both Home and Pro.

If you try to add a user as a Power User in Home with, you'll end up in deep
doo doo.

Beats me, Ken. I don't know anything about domains. Type domain in the
search box in Help and Support, there's some info there. Nothing that
pertains to User Accounts that I could find.
