You can add users fairly easily with ADSI which is part of the NT 4 Option Pack or Windows 2000. It's easy to do with just a few lines of code.

However, I would be very careful allowing self-registration. This can open serious security holes for your system if you're not careful. Also, adding tons of users into your user registry becomes unwieldy in a hurry unless you're planning on using Active Directory.

If you need to have self registration and adding of users I'd suggest you use your own user management rather than NTs to sidestep the security issues of compromising OS security from an application.
