Well (just tried it) and you *can* add a group called "Power Users".
However, it will *not* be recognized by the system as the built-in group
Power Users that is default present on XP Pro, so basically you just have a
group that is simply called the same *without* any of the privileges
normally associated with this particular built-in group.
So it won't enable you to turn a specific user into user of type "Standard
User". Some nice things happen then :-)))

You might want to check out the thread called "Missing Users" in newsgroup
"Microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage", by Monika, dated
September 12, 2004 6:17 PM. It deals with the issue.
