i have a user with windows 2000 pro, who has standard rights..member of power users..and he cannot defrag and do a couple other things that would be fine with me to give him these rights, but i do not want him to have full admin rights...is there a way i can give him a few extra privileges over power users group without giving him admin rights?
thanks

Use the "Run As"

This will then give the user access to an "admin level" account to mess aroud with.

If this isn't right, try to access the NTFS permissions of the executable for the programs in question and add the user name to have access to it.
