Three choices:

        1) Make the user a Power user (you don't want this I know)
        2) Change the machine to "Compatibility" security template
        3) Remove legacy apps that don't respect tighter Win2000
            security restrictions

It's a feature. They tightened the security and made Power User
(or loosening it with Compatxx.inf template) a choice.
