My user wanted to make some changes to TCP/IP portion and save data into his USB thumb drive during his demo session at client place; but, as i have set his rights to "user" therefore he was unable to do the changed. Any idea where should i set the permission for these specific tasks? Is it in local security setting? Thanks in advance.

For the TCP/IP settings they would need to be logged in with Admin Privileges so if they had those rights then everything else should follow without problems.

Hopefully this is on a NB and easily recoverable once they manage to trash the OS and it's associated software as constantly running with Admin Rights isn't a great idea but is something that is forced on many of us by the Windows Kernel.

Thank you for your quick response!

Well, that's the only way i can do=give him the admin rights!!!

But, i don't want this to happen as some users might think that i am unfair...hence i hope i can have more controls besides allowing him to do some "necessary" changes.

Any good solutions for this? Thanks in advance.
