Recently upgraded the home pc from XP pro, to Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm looking for a solution for a few things that seem to be missing from this edition...

Since Local Users and Groups is blocked on Home Premium, I can't figure out how to manage groups, or even do anything even slightly advanced to users (basically, create/group/picture is it).
net localgroup, net users, net etc dont seem to work - getting "system error 5".

While I'm on the topic, I cant activate (what was once) "Local Security Policy"...

Looking for any help, advice, or even a new direction cuz things is differ'nt on Winnows7...

To clarify, I'm looking to do some of the following, which were simply back in XP-land:

• remote user only (i.e. no local logon)
• Grant special privileges for specific user
• grant access to e.g. C$ share for specific remote user
• create custom groups for users, to be able to separate privileges of say, my wife's from my kids
• define quite specifically what each user can do (beyond just standard users)
• Harden OS (hmm, i guess maybe what i'm looking for is security hardening guide for 7...?)
