Are you talking about on a networked system or a non-networked system? For non-networked systems, all I know of is to promote the user to administrator under user accounts or use shift + right click and log in as a admin for installs.

On domain systems you can add a non-admin domain user to the local user accounts as an admin user which will give that user admin rights on that machine.

Ya, I am talking about non networked systems.
I have 2 user accounts in control panel.
Ya I know what you just said but I don't want to enter the administrator password again and again.
Reasons are personal.
Anyways thanks for reply.

It's a little different, due to the way you have to go about it, but you're right that in both cases all you're doing is adding the user to the local admin group.

***Change a user's account type***
-Click on Start then search User Accounts and open it.
-Click Manage User Accounts. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
-On the Users tab, under Users for this computer, click the user account name, and then click Properties.
-On the Group Membership tab, click the group you want the account to be in, click OK, and then click OK again.
*Windows requires at least one administrator account on a computer. If you have only one account on your computer, you can't change it to a standard account.

Woops! So I did a bit more research online and from the look of it you can't change the invidual permissions on a standard account to allow for installations. You have to set each permission though the actual file/program but it won't allow a standard user to install new programs.

Installation requires almost complete administrator control over the pc, you can't do much there since you're making changes to system files.
