I would like to give permission to user group on my computer to be able to
load and unload device drivers on xp. I'm using group policy editor but I
don't knew the procedure to change (SeLoadDriverPrivilege). Any help?
Thanks.

Once you start gpedit.msc, navigate to:
Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings
-> Local Policies -> User Rights.
There should be an item there labeled "Load and unload device drivers".
Simply double-click on that and modify the settings.
If "Add User or Group" is grayed out, you might be under a Domain
Policy that has precedence.

HTH,

Thanks John, you are great!
 
Any reason that one would need to do so? Are devices installed
daily?

Just guessing here, but what about Thumb Drives? Every time I plug a
new make/model thumb drive that hasn't previously been plugged into my
computer, it goes through some kind of ritual of installing/setting up
some kind of driver.

Also printers? Moving a laptop from site to site may require setting
up new drivers?
