One of our clients wanted to tighten up security... We changed all of the W2K workstations rights from Administrative to Power User... Now, they cannot defrag or download Norton Virus definitions... I was under the impression that Power User had those rights, but I guess not... NT4.0 had a registry edit, (I think I remember this) that allowed a change in Power User rights...to some extent you could set up in the registry additional functions that the Power User could do... Does anyone know if this ia available in W2K??? Or if there is some other way I can give download and defrag permissions to Power Users??? Thanx Steve

Log into the accounts, create a shortcut to the items you want, in this case IE and Defrag. In the Properties of the newly created shortcut, change the "Run as..." line to have the shortcut run as an administrator (and thereby with all the rights for that file). That is a seemingly long approach, but effective nonetheless. Good luck.
