Default "Install updates and shutdown" not available

I read somewhere that the "Install Updates and Shutdown" option is only
available in XP SP2 for users that have admin rights. Why is that? I want
this option available to all of my users, and since 95% of them don't have
admin rights, they get interupted when scheduled updates occur (we can only
do them during the workday). What was Microsoft thinking when they limited
this only to users with admin rights, and is there some way around it? HELP!

Might be better to ask this question on the WU NG
Windows Update newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....windowsupdate
or
