Is there a limit set for the number of user accounts that
can live on an XP system? Anyone with experience about
this?

The only limitation AFAIK is disk space to hold the profile files. However I
think that if you had more than four or five the log-on process would start
to get silly......
 
Hi Nori,

See below the earlier post by Mike Brannigan (Microsoft)

===================================================
You can create thousands of local user accounts.
This would be an unmanageable situation and you would be advised to look
into a more robust solution based around a Network Operating systems such as
Windows Server 2003.

The main limiting factor on local accounts will be the storage of all those
profiles and "My Documents"

How many were you thinking of creating ?
