Hello,

Is it true that members in domain users group in W2K AD domain get only read
and execute rights on local drive (C:\) when using XP SP2 workstations?

Thanks
-Will

That depends on what Local Group the Domain Users domain group is assigned
to.
By default they are assigned to the local "Users" group - so, yes - in
general that would be true.
 
Just a minor point but you are taking about "permissions" here not user
rights. Permissions control a users access to
files/folders/shares/registry/Ad objects. User rights are a task a user can
do on a computer such as change the system time.

To answer your question in a default install a user will have full control
to their user profile folder under documents and settings, be able to create
folders under the root folder and write files to those folders [see special
permissions in root folder in advanced tab] , and be able to write to the
all users/shared documents folder. -- Steve
