Give 2ndary account power management settings rights in Windows XP Pro?


Recommended Posts

My parents have an old Windows XP machine, and somehow they always manage to get crap on it. Downloading from suspect sources cause their "friends" linked to it, no doubt. Regardless, I got sick of it, and just locked them down into a secondary account and cranked up the virus protection. Well, it certainly did the job, taking away admin privileges has kept them virus free. But it's had a few bad side effects. 1. Firefox can't update on it's own, have to download the file and then run it in the administrator account. Annoying, but I can deal with that. 2. The computer won't go into standby, and whines that the user doesn't have privileges to change the power settings.

So, how do I give a low level account access to power settings in WinXP Pro? I haven't had much luck finding it in GPEdit...
