As a matter of fact there is such a group and it's called
just that, "Power Users" group. Assuming you have XP
Professional and you've logged in as Administrator or
equivalent, go to Computer Management (located in Control
Panel), expand the "Local Users and Groups" folder and
right click on the Users folder. Click New User. Fill in
the details and click Create. Once complete you will see
the user in the Users folder. Double-click the user
account and on the "Member Of" tab click Add, then find
the Power Users group and add the user to that group. Hope
this helps.
