The Local Users and Groups Manager doesn't like running on the Home versions of Windows...
Is there an alternative program which can provide the same amount of flexibility for editing users/groups?
(Control UserPasswords2 doesn't have nearly as much flexibility, so that doesn't count.)
Answer
You can make a lot of these changes using the net command line tool. It's annoying an inelegant, but it works.
net user can be used to set things like password expiration, add a comment to the user, change display name, modify when the user can log in, whether they can change their password, if the account ever expires, and whether it is enabled.
net localgroup can modify groups and their members.
For full documentation, see net user documentation and net localgroup documentation.
