Hi Xavier,
Power Users: Members of this group have all the access permissions that
Users and Power Users had in Windows NT 4.0. Power Users have read/write
permission to other parts of the system in addition to their own profile
folders. Power Users can install applications and perform many
administrative tasks. If you are running applications that have not been
certified for use with Windows 2000, users will need to have Power User
privileges.
Administrators: Members of this group have total control of the desktop,
allowing them to complete all tasks. Members of the Administrators group
have the same level of rights and permissions they did for Windows NT 4.0.
There is also a built-in administrator account that allows administration
of the computer. The administrator account is the first account that is
created when Windows 2000 is installed.
Note: the above description also works for the Windows XP.
Thanks for using Microsoft News Group!
Sincerely,
Steven Liu

| What are the exact differences (Privileges) between "Powers Users" and
| "Administrators" local groups on XP.
|
| We have some "advanced" users in our company. Are there some
recommendation
| from Microsoft concerning this scenario ?
|
|
| Best regards
