Learn how to open Local users and Groups console from Run window. In this console, administrators can perform operations like creation/deletion of user accounts, resetting user password etc.
Execute the command lusrmgr.msc to open user accounts window from Run.
However, on Windows XP we need to run a different command.
On XP: nusrmgr.cpl
Also, we can use Netplwiz from Run window to launch user accounts window which shows only the local user accounts on the system.

How do you do it with windows 7. I tried the ‘nusrmgr.cpl’ to no avail.
This is changed in Windows 7. You can run compmgmt.msc and manage user accounts from there.
Run “control nusrmgr.cpl”
Hey buddy,
command to open user accounts is “LUSRMGR.MSC”
exactly
nusrmgr.cpl works for XP where as lusrmgr.msc works for Windows 7. Updated the post for Windows 7.
Hi Admin,
I have unintentionally closed (forced) exlorer.exe on a remote server & now I am unable to run explorer.exe back. It gives me blank screen everytime I try to login. It is a remote server (Windows 7). I need to access it urgently as I was treoubleshooting something.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
If explorer is killed, it can be restarted by running ‘explorer’ from command prompt. But I’m not sure if you have access to command window.
Press alt+ctrl+delete to open task manager and click on new task and type explorer.exe

Hello Mohsin, when a new user local or domain is created the first time you login, the user needs to invoked by clicking on the left lower corner and choose other user. for a domain user the user name will work, for a local user type .\user-name (.\ translates to local machine)
