Hello Everyone,

I have several applications that require "Power User"
rights in order operate fully (i.e. general ledger client,
Photoshop, etc).

The problem with granting my end-users "Power User"
credentials, is that they now have the "rights" to install
unauthorized software ("user" credentials limited their
access to the registry).

Is there anyway that I can prevent my end-users from
having the "rights" to install software, while
providing "power user" credentials?

Your assistance is appreciated.

Thank you,

Arden Peterkin
