Subject: [PCBUILD] user account types in xp pro


I have a question regarding the  user account types in XP Pro.

I only seem to have three account types as options.

Administrator
User
Guest.

I am used to Win2k Pro.  Where I have Power User, Backup Operator Etc.

I tried to find them in xp pro  but I could not, and could not find any relevent
Microsoft Knowledge Base Articles.

----------------------

These accounts do exist in XP Pro, but you must locate them in the
Computer Management msc (management system console?), a
standard MS came up with for Win2K. It's accessible by several
methods. If you have the default XP desktop/view enabled, right
click My Computer, then left click Manage. In the left pane of the
console, there is a users and groups category. Working from here,
you can promote/demote users to the groups you mentioned above.
Note that these other groups are NOT available in XP Home.
