That will certainly save a few steps into the Control Panel>User Accounts in order to make any changes!

I just set up the shortcut ( manually). Isn't that the same as clicking the user Icon on the right of the start menu? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Three desktops and one laptop with good specs.. OS Vista and now 7 in 32 and 64 bit. |

Hello Night Hawk,
Yep it has been dugged.
Hello Dave,
Yes, it's the same as clicking on the user display picture in the Start Menu to open "User Accounts" in the Control Panel. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel i7-980X 3.3 Ghz (3.48 Ghz OC'd) Motherboard ASUS P6X58D Premium Memory 12 GB (2GBx6) DDR3 PC3-16000 2000 MHz Kingston HyperX Graphics Card Sapphire HD5870 Eyefinity 6 2GB Sound Card Realtek HD Audio ALC889 Integrated Chip Monitor(s) Displays 3x 27" Asus VE278Q Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution Mouse Logitech Cordless Desktop MX 5500 Revolution PSU OCZ Series Gold OCZZ1000M 1000W Case Corsair Obsidian 800D Cooling Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Copper CPU heat sink w/120 MM Hard Drives 160GB OCZ RevoDrive X2

I'm not seeing anything different between them.

The only difference you should see is when looking at the address line. With the shortcut you see "User Accounts with the default icon while clicking on the Start menu picture sees "All Contol Panel Items>User Accounts" when you have the view for the CP set for large icons.
The window on the right was opened with the shortcut itself. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, MS XP Mode, VBox, VMLite Workstation, VM Player 4.0 CPU AMD Phenom II X4 Deneb 3.4 Motherboard Gigabyte 790XTA-UD4 Memory Mushkin Enhanced DDR3 1600 8gb 1.5v-1.7v Graphics Card MSI Radeon 5750 1gb Sound Card Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeGamer Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Acer P191W 19" widesscreen Screen Resolution 1440x900 native Keyboard Microsoft Recusa Razor Mouse MS Trackball Explorer PSU Corsair 750TX Case Antec 900-2 - SSD compatible Cooling Zalman CNPS9900A Hard Drives WD Black Edition 1tb Sata 6.0 = 2

Thanks Night Hawk/Brink. I really wanted to confirm if it was anything new.
But, with respect, I have my Control Panel on small icon view, as the default. The easiest way to make this shortcut then (or for any others in the CP) is to right clcik the item and "Create shortcut" | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Three desktops and one laptop with good specs..
