I know Windows XP Pro has the capability of setting up users at
different levels. Such as: Administrator, Power User, User, Guest
ect.

I have searched the Microsoft Web site for an article explaining the
limitations that each of the user levels have if they are not at the
Administrator level. But, I can only find information on the XP Home
edition users.

Could someone point me to some article detailing the differences
between the possible users in Windows XP Pro.

Thanks!
