Question on Admin rights in Windows 2000/Problems

[Cranger]

Has anyone had the following problems when users are not Admins on their machines.

1) Syncing Palm Pilots
2) Word Shutting down on Start Up
3) Tiny Term Errors

Any information or tips would be appreciated. Thank You.

I have seen the Hotsync problem with standard users. I upgraded the user to power user (With some restrictions of course) and the sync isse went away. standard users cannot get away with much. I rarely use standard users anymore. I use power users (For local access) with more restrictions on what they can and cannot access. It appears to work. It is more of an administration headache, but less than it would by having users come up constantly and saying they cant do this or that. James Collins

I agree with James. Especially with Office 2000, users would constantly receive strange errors. Adding them to power users group solved most of the problems
