User versus local administrator privilege

I know I have read articles on this, but I have hunted for 2 days and can't
find them.

I have a number of apps on our network shares that require the user to have
local administrative privileges to install. For this reason I have had to
make all Win 2K and XP users local administrators. I really do NOT like
doing this, but the alternative is for me to walk around to every
workstation just to install simple updates to QuickTime and the like.

I read of a way to use GPO's to push settings that will allow a standard
user account to install software that doesn't come with Windows installer
capability. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much!
 
Thank you SO much Denis!!! This works like a dream. I am set now!!!
