Hello all

Is it possible to give users access to the Logical Disk Manager, I have some
users with USB SD Card readers and everytime they remove and reinstall them
the drive letters go all over the place( they seem to knock out network
drive mappings). These users are notorious for installing software and I do
not want to give them administrative rights, only the right for them to
reconfigure the drive letters in disk management.

Is this possible?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Platform Windows XP Sp1

I also found this Knowledge base article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=297694

Thanks in advance

Jimmy
