the htfiles are only for your folder access, they do not interact in any way with VB
so when you add a new user, you enter the name and password you want... for example:
username: nakkid
password: bored
you do NOT use the encrypted info you used in the htfiles...
basically, the adduser.php will simulate you are an admin and want to add a regular user as you do it from the admin panel.. so proceed as usual..
