Is there anyway to allow this? Registry or policy settings?

What I want is for a non-admin user to have the ability to start and
stop services in XP. Can be either from the GUI or using NET
START/STOP.

User is a normal user not power user.
 
right click on my computer and choose "manage" any user can do this I
believe, they just do it in thier own user area and it will choose which
services are active for them
 
A normal user can not start or stop services. You can use runas, but the user
must know the password for an administrative user. When your pc is member of
a active directory domain you can make a group policy to allow normal users
to start/stop/manage specific services. When you are not a member of a domain
you can set the permission by subinacl.exe (Download from microsoft), e.g.

subinacl /service mssqlserver /GRANT=myuser=F
