On W2K not on a domain, I know that power users and
administrators can create shared folders. Is there a way
to allow a member of the group "Users to create a shared
folder?

Thanks.

Assign the local user rights policy "create permanent shared objects"

No. They need to be in the other groups you mention. --- Steve

That user right does not allow users to create network shares, though the
description would seem to indicate that might be a possibility. The link below
describes what that user right is for. --- Steve
