I have a user who needs install right only on his labtop, he is set up on the WIN2K network as a power user without install rights. I think I could have him only log onto his machine under Local Admin. but is there any other way?

You can add the user to local administrator's group (if this is a domain - this is common practice).
 
I think you can make anyone able to install software Admin or not if you use Gpedit (c:\winnt\system32). Once opened go to Computer Config, Admin Templetes, Windows Components, Windows Installer. Then enable the option on the right that says allways install with elevated privleges. I have never used this options, so I cant garentee it will do what you need.
