Best! But where is the next video?

7:30 It is actually possible to create Power Users on XP Home by using start> run> "control userpasswords2" . Click on the account name and then group membership tab.

You can also run as a restricted/power user then right click on an exe or shortcut and choose Run As when you require elevated permissions.
