    Yeah nice post. Many of these you will learn purposely while supporting Windows XP since RunAs was popularized instead of logging a user out completely, but theres some stuff in here I didnt know. Very cool. Thanks.

    Hello Och,

    control userpasswords2 doesn't seem to come up from the Start Menu search for me in Windows 7, but it does work from Run. You can also use netplwiz.
