Question Change account privileges?

Hi,

My friend is running Windows Media Center on an HP M7560N and he would like to enable the installation of programs for a limited account and a few other things without giving full Admin privileges. I looked under security policies and it doesn't have an option for this?

Any ideas?

I believe that kind of control for user accounts is only with XP Pro. Home and newer WMC don't have that type of control.

WMC 2002 was based on Pro, WMC 2005 is based on Home.
