Windows XP: Cannot Open User Accounts in Control Panel

You may not be able to open the User Accounts item in Control Panel on a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer. This behavior may occur if certain .dll files are not registered correctly. Additionally, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment

To fix this problem, use the regsvr32 command to register the .dll files. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

2. At the command prompt, type the following commands, press ENTER after each command, and then click OK when a message says that the registration is successful:

C:\> Regsvr32 jscript.dll
C:\> Regsvr32 nusrmgr.cpl
C:\> Regsvr32 /i mshtml.dll
C:\> Regsvr32 themeui.dll
C:\> Regsvr32 Vbscript.dll

Now, check whether you can open the User Accounts item in Control Panel.
