RE: power user
Regardless of if you have administrative access or not, Windows XP Pro comes with a pre-setup account called Administrator. Windows XP Home comes with a pre-setup account called Owner. So either way you will always have Administrative access to your pc.
Using your pc for day-to-day activities as an Administrator is considered unsafe. As people in this thread have stated, a power user can't touch system specific settings/system files. Which is the whole point..better security.
If you need Administrative permissions and abilities, simply log in under "Owner" or "Administrator" (and/or use the "Run As" function) to do those changes, then switch back to your power user or normal user account.
