Add ‘Control UserPasswords2’ to control panel

Have you ever tried a run command named ‘control userpasswords2’? If not, then try it. ‘Control Userpasswords2’ opens the user accounts frame. From here one can configure user accounts (like add, remove, change properties, etc.). Also it has other advance features available. Now, to open this frame you have only this option of running the run command ‘Control Userpasswords2’. So, I’m providing a tweak on how to add ‘Control UserPasswords2’ to your control panel. I got this registry key from a site by adding which to your registry ‘Control UserPasswords2’ will be added to your control panel.

1. Open notepad and write the lines codes in it: (inside the # only)
