RE: power user
I think the following way should work in Windows XP Home Edition.

Go to Start and click Run. In the box, type "control userpasswords2" (without the quotes) and click OK. Then, click a username in the list of users you see and click Properties. Click the other tab in the dialog window that comes up (it's probably called "Manage group membership" or something similar) and click the last radio button. Select the Power User group.

RE: power user
If you're on a computer for just you, then you should leave your account as an administrator, so in case something goes wrong, some nerd can fix it easily. Power users are for families who have meddlesome kids and share one PC. :P Power users have unlimited access to their OWN settings, minus global startup. But that's it.
