I can't open the User Accounts applet in windows control panel. When I click on it, nothing opens up. As a result i'm unable to create/delete/edit any user accounts on my PC.

Wat cud be the problem and how to solve it?
Thanx in advance. :)
 
Try this from another forum

The file needed to open the User Accounts applet is nusrmgr.cpl located in the Windows\System32 folder.

It may have gotten corrupted or misplaced or wandered off but you can extract a new one.

1. Go to Start>Run, type in "msconfig" (without the quotes), click OK.
2. On the General tab, click the "Expand File" button.
3. The "File to restore" is nusrmgr.cpl
4. "Restore From" either your Windows XP CD or the I386 folder on the harddrive (if it's there); either type in the path or use the "Browse To..." button
5. "Save file in" C:\Windows\System32 - either type in the path or use the "Browse To..." button
6. Click the expand button

See if the User Accounts applet will then open.

What exactly is the scenario ??

Are you logged in as Administrator or a user with Administrator rights ??

If not then you will not be able to access User accounts.

Also are you logged on to a domain ??

Cheers.
 
qf, do you have something called NSclean, or basically did you disable HTA applications using some utility, if yes re-enable HTA.

I had used HTA Stop from NSclean. Reran HTA Stop and enabled Permit HTA apps. Worked like a charm

or type run control userpasswords, or control userpasswords2 to gain direct access to user accounts.

I will look for other solutions and post back here.
