Hello.

Windows 7 Home Premium has local users and groups mmc console snap-in disabled: W7Home - snapin disabled

Is there any custom utility I can use to manage my accounts? I need no more than adding users and email addresses to have some test accounts for my development purposes.

I don't want to use regular "user accounts" tool in control panel to add users because:

I don't want them at my welcome screen
I can't assign mail address to them
