A small handful of users needs to be able to install
programs periodically on WinXP workstations. We have no
Windows Domain here, and by default all users are made
members of the Power Users group.
Rather than make these users members of the local
Administrators group, I was wondering if one of the local
User Right settings could be modified to allow them to
accomplish a periodic software install?
