User Accounts Debugger?

[Bryan]

When I go into User Accounts; my User Name is a member of
2 groups: Debugger Users, and Administrator. What
exactly are the benefits of a debugger user and what will
happen if I remove it? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The Debugger group is used to grant non-admins the ability to use
certain user rights that are needed when developing applications and
one wants to debug the code, halt the code and single step through it,
and so on. You likely installed VStudio or one of its parts, at which time
this group is defined.

Description of Debugger Users group on my machine:
"Debugger Users are non administrators who are allowed to use Visual Studio
to debug processes, both locally and remotely. Only trusted users should be
added to this group"

I'm assuming that the group has debug privilege. If you're an admin, you
should already have that. I don't know whether or not Visual Studio will
complain if you remove yourself from the group.
