How to browse the users and groups list ?

Is there any way to show a dialog like the ones used by Windows 2000 or XP
to select users and groups from the local computer or a domain ?
I need to do some authentication/permissions stuff, and I find quite strange
nobody already had the necessity of such a dialog... and I fear writing it
from scratch could be quite painful :-/
Can anybody help ?

Hi!

There's not a direct dialog which will do it from you, but you can create
yours by listing users using ADSI. Here's an example:

Ok, that is exactly what I feared I'd have to do :-(
Anyway, wouldn't such a dialog be a nice addiction to Windows Forms ?
There are File Open, File Save, Print, Print Preview... I think a User
Chooser dialog would really fit in. Much more than a Color Chooser, for
example :-/

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
