When you have administrative privileges, I think it is possible to do that. However, I don't know how.SharpKnight– SharpKnight2014-03-29 19:35:24 +00:00Commented Mar 29, 2014 at 19:35

for the admin privileges it is possible when you include a .manifest file to have these privilegs but i think i will choose the the naive way by executing a simple command line .hannibal– hannibal2014-03-30 16:22:43 +00:00Commented Mar 30, 2014 at 16:22

It's been already 1 year when i asked this question and i forgot to post the answer. I'm sorry :)
to create a user account we need administrative privileges by wrapping a manifest file with our program. the manifest file must have the same name as the program. this how this file should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="False" />
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
then we create our userAccount program :
import java.io.IOException;
public class UserAccount {
public static void main(String[] args){
String userName = "foo";
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("net user " + userName + " /add");
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
in my case i used the launch4j tool to wrap the manifest with the .jar file and get the program working :)
