I'm hoping someone can help me with this one:

We need to enable a regular domain user on a Windows 2000 server environment
the ability to change their power profiles in control panel. The default
security is to allow read access, but they cannot change anything.

I suppose there are a few different ways of going about this, but what I'm
currently attempting to do is make this happen via a group policy. My
approach has been to modify an OU's Group Policy and under the Computer
Config / Windows Setting / Security Settings / Registry area I add the key I
want to allow all users to have access to: the
Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/ControlsFolder/Power
Cfg
key is the one I am trying to grant access to. This just isn't working.
I've tried a few variations with propagation options, but those don't seem
to have an effect either. I also use the secedit command on the local
machine to force the policy to take affect, but it seems I am not doing
something correctly as the GPO is just not giving that key access.

Obviously I could do this manually on every machine, but I'd rather not.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
