I don't know for sure but there is a security option in Local Security
Policy called allowed to "eject removable media". In Windows XP Pro this
security option is called "eject and format removable media". You can modify
it to add power users. Use secpol.msc to open Local Security Policy and go
to security settings/local policies/security options to find it. Run secedit
/refreshpolicy machine_policy enforce after configuring it. If that does not
work you may have to make that user local administrator on his computer. A
local administrator has no special powers in the domain or on other
domain/network computers. --- Steve
