Ok, my question is:
Are ALL users on the PC, (everyone that has some type of user acount
created, including administrators and power users) considered part of the
"users" group?

I use two computers, one has XPHE and one XPPro. When I set deny permissions
on a file or folder in either OS to lock out members of the "users" group,
it also locks the administrator out and anyone in the administrator group.

However, when I add the specific user account and set a deny permission on
that one user, it works fine.

Its as if all accounts fall under the "users" group. I have made sure that
the accounts are only members of one group, either a user or administrator.

Am I missing something simple here? Its my understanding that only users
with limited accounts fall under the "users" group.
