When the user is home and the local printer is plugged in Windows XP wants to
install on the local machine but can't because the logged on user(domain user
logged on with cached profile) does not have install rights on the local
machine. All I want to do is find the setting somewhere that will allow the
"regular" user to install hardware connected directly to the local machine.
