you can got to Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Local Security Policy.
If you are using Group Policy to push setting down to the desktop, they will
over ride the local policy

Subject: Setting local policies on Win2k

Hi guys,
 I've just recently found a need to set up a multi-user system on my home 2k

box for my family. I would like to know how to give them power user status
but
with the ability to install programs which do not modify any major system
files. At first glance, I thought power users had this ability but I upon
testing it [by trying to install AIM] I was prompted to switch to an
administrator account and then install it. Can anyone tell me how to
accomplish
the above?

Also, if someone could point me to a site where I can learn how to "harden"
the
2k box,i'd appreciate that as well.

Thank you
 -Apurva
