user accounts

[garrett]

I was hoping to find some information on the differences
btwn a restricted user and a standard user.

Besides the obvious, like access and freedom, I was
hoping to find more detailed info on the differences
between the two.

thx

Hi,
This is from WinXP help:
Standard Users (Power Users Group): Members of the Power Users group can
create user accounts, but can modify and delete only those accounts they
create. They can create local groups and remove users from local groups they
have created. They can also remove users from the Power Users, Users, and
Guests groups.
They cannot modify the Administrators or Backup Operators groups, nor can
they take ownership of files, back up or restore directories, load or unload
device drivers, or manage the security and auditing logs.

Restricted Users (Users Group): Members of the Users group can perform most
common tasks, such as running applications, using local and network
printers, and shutting down and locking the workstation. Users can create
local groups, but can modify only the local groups that they created. Users
cannot share directories or create local printers.

HTH.
