Unfortunately you can't. They either will need to be logged on as a local
administrator or know local administrator credentials. This is explained in
the link below. Windows XP Pro has fixed that I believe with a command line
option, but it will not work on W2K. The last link is a possible workaround
with a freeware tool AutoDefrag that works in a similar way that XP allows.
I have not tried it myself. --- Steve
