Is there any way to be more granular in the user account
types than the 2 default account types "administrator"
and "limited". I want to create accounts that have a few
more privileges than limited but not a full-blown
administrator?

Are there any add-ins, patches, hacks or 3rd party
products (freeware is best price) to solve this issue?
 
Hi Bill,

I all depends on what the "extra" privs are.
There are not built-in distinctions along these
lines other than the Administrators, Power Users,
and Users groups for workstations. However,
we normally define many custom groups, assign
accounts as members of these, and use these to
grant access to specific things. Now, keep in mind
that settings that are machine-wide and impact all
accounts are usually coded so that these can only
be managed by Administrators group members.
 
Same applied except that Home does not have
Power Users group.

What are the privs you want to control ?
If you can find the executable for it then use of
filesystem or registry permissions can usually
be an effective route.
