I'm aware that there is no Local Security Policy available in the Home edition of XP. So I'm looking for another way to disable a user account in XP Home. I don't want to delete the account, I just want to disable it and be able to re-enable it later on.
 
Been a while you asked this question. Maybe better late than never.

To disable an account (let's call the account Jim as example) just type this into a command window or the Run dialog.

net user Jim /active:no

To enable the account again type

net user Jim /active:yes

Thanks yoyo... better later than never! :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
