Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro allow Power User accounts that stop short of full Administrator permissions. 
  
To make an existing user (say Test User) a Power User do the following: 
  
•Start Menu   Right click on My Computer   Manage  
  The Computer Management window appears 
  
•On the left, expand System Tools   Local Users and Groups   Users   
  
  
•On the right, select and Right click on 'Test User'   Properties  
  The User Properties dialog appears 
  
•Select the Member Of tab   Add...  
  The Select Groups dialog appears 
  
•In the bottom box, type Power Users   OK   
    
  
•In the user properties dialog select Users   Remove   OK     
•Close Computer Management   
Your Test User is now a member of the Power Users group - and probably not really a 'Test' User any more!
