Agreed - W2K allowed other, more configurable statuses with limited rights.

I advised my family to buy XP Pro rather than Home, thinking this would make 
the difference, but it doesn't.  There's still only User, totally 
locked-down, and Administrator, totally open.

I've been told that it's possible to force XP to allow limited rights as in 
W2K, but no-one has told me how to do it, and I haven't discovered it.
