520202 2007-01-29 03:26:00 Ok so my laptop is win xp home... I tried to set a user account to the Power Users Group, but the group is gone! I mean the local group, not network I know it wouldn't be on there... Anyways anyone know why it's gone and how to fix it? I need to be able to set the user to the Power Users Group because quicken requires it or administrative rights and I would rather not allow the user admin rights... Any help is welcome! CorbinH (37)
520203 2007-01-29 04:00:00 Home doesn't have it, only Pro does.

Thats why u cant find it. Coz its not there.

As it states here (support.microsoft.com)

Level 3: Files in shared documents available to local users

Files are shared with users who log on to the computer locally. Local Computer Administrators can read, write, and delete the files in the Shared Documents folder. Restricted Users can only read the files in the Shared Documents folder. In Windows XP Professional, Power Users may also read, write, or delete any files in the Shared Documents Folder. The Power Users group is only available in Windows XP Professional. Remote users cannot access folders or files at Level 3. To permit remote users to access files, you must share them out on the network (Level 4 or 5).

520204 2007-01-29 04:07:00 Power Users Group in Windows XP Home? That's a new one to me. Are you sure it was ever there?

Or do you mean the Administrator Account?
