ASKER

see above. if however this isnt suitable then you can add the user to the local admin group. this however has its pros and cons, but ultimatley it depends on how much you wish to lock the users down
ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It can only be done for known software. That should mean, you can alow non-admins to install certain defined software on demand. For random software, you will need a third party solution like beyondtrust's powerbroker.
PS: the power users group does not work any more since vista.

Basically, Power Users can:
Run legacy applications, in addition to Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional certified applications.
Install programs that do not modify operating system files or install system services.
Customize systemwide resources including printers, date, time, power options, and other Control Panel resources.
Create and manage local user accounts and groups.
Stop and start system services which are not started by default.
Power Users do not have permission to add themselves to the Administrators group. Power Users do not have access to the data of other users on an NTFS volume, unless those users grant them permission.
