Howdy all,

I know there is a way to add new Local Groups in XP Home
through the NET LOCALGROUP command, but is there a way to
edit the privileges and permissions for those groups added?
For example, could a group, perhaps "Power Users for XP Home,"
be created and then given privileges and granted access similar
to that of a Power User group in Win2k or XP Pro?

If this is not possible through "easy" means (registry editing,
mmc snapins, standards command line tools), could a program
be created to do this? I guess I'm looking for technical
information regarding how local groups work in XP Home.

Any replies, links, or documents would be appreciated. Thanks
in advance.
