Changing user type in Windows XP

By default, you can user account type in Control Panel / User Accounts, but there are further account type that you can`t change from Control Panel / User Accounts . For example Power User, Backup Operator, debugger user, guest, help services group, rote desktop user and …
To change user type:
1- right click on my computer
2- click Manage > Local Users and Groups > Users
3- double click on the user you want to change
4- in dialog box click on “Member of “ Tab
5- click Add button > and in Select Group click Advanced button then click “Find Now button”
6- and finally select your account type from the list

I believe it's only on XP Pro, yes. Thats one of the things I hate about Home - they cut out a lot of useful little features. But then again, how many run of the mill users need to change their account type? Most probably have the one account created at setup.

Playing around in that same area you can also set a lot of local security policies. Not sure of the tabs and such since I'm on a Linux Box, but I know somewhere in that you can change logon policies and such. Fun to look and mess around with if you have some free time and enjoy customizing.
