Can anyone tell me what rights a Power User has in Windows 2000 Professional? I cannot find a full list of rights and priveleges on the MS site.
Cheers,

DM

Power Users possess most administrative powers with some restrictions. Thus, Power Users can run legacy applications in addition to certified applications.

This is straight from MS help files, specific info listed below (Note, this user group inherits rights of groups below it).

Profile single process
Change the system time
Remove computer from docking station
Shut down the system
Bypass traverse checking
Access this computer from the network
Log on locally

That's the only list I could come up with. Hope it helps.
