This is driving me mad!

There is no "Users and Passwords" icon in Control-Panel, and I can't
find any other way to add or manipulate user accounts!

Help!

Thanks Brian. Tried googling for Active Directory. Loads of nice
documents telling me what it is and how wonderful it is, then a whole
bunch of scripts for automatically adding users, but NOTHING tells me
how to manually add a user via the standard Windows interface!

Can this even be done on an isolated Win2k Server box?

Does that mean I do not have to install it? I would prefer not to
install it if it is not completely necessary - all I want is an
additional user that isn't an administrator.

Many thanks for your help - it's much appreciated.

Well, googling shows that several other people have W2k Server
installations without this icon, but no solutions. So exactly what I
screwed up I have no idea - all I did was a completely default
installation - I didn't change any of the default options during
installation.

Any ideas?

option on a reboot ,
