Windows Home Premium (Vista) username troubles

The trouble with Windows Vista Home Premium is that it doesn't allow access to the local users and groups snap-in. This means that usernames expected by network devices (other computers, i.e. file servers) cannot be specified for users whilst keeping "pretty names" such as "Joe Blogs" (username: joeb).

Solution is to use: Netplwiz.exe in system32.
