Well that's not entirely true.  As with all XP drivers, if the driver is
a native driver, i.e., is a driver that is shipped with the OS, you can
be a regular user and it will install fine.  Or, if the driver is in the
devicepath, i.e. a path pointed to by
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\devicepath
and if the driver is properly signed, you also don't need any elevated
rights to install the driver.  Since most of the keys I have seen use a
native driver, it should install without the need for elevated rights.

        In order to load the drivers for a key the user has to be a
power user believe it or not.

                Trying to troubleshoot a problem with a user's USB key,
can reproduce across multiple Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines.
With USB key inserted, the local PC's OS detects the key as a local
drive.  I create a connection to a published Windows desktop; when
logging in with Citrix Server Administrator rights the USB and physical
PC hard drives are detected as client drives.  When logging in with
Domain User rights only the physical PC hard drives are detected as
client drives - No USB key mapping occurs.  Why doesn't the USB key show
up as a client drive? 
                 
                Suggestions on things to look at pls?  Thanks!
