enjoyed the post but I don't think that is what op meant. Generally, I
would think that if they were 'Power Users' members on local machines,
they could do C++ debugging. There's all sorts of reasons
(spyware/viruses) not to give more privileges than necessary and not
just to lock them out of their boxes.
