We have a regular user that wants to adjust their power options. They are
on a Windows XP Professional.

When they try to adjust the power options, they get the following error.
Power policy manager unable to set active policy
"access denied"

Is there any way to accomplish giving the user want they want without giving
the user admin rights to their machine?

Basically, I found what I need:

If you give the user full control of the following registry keys:

It works without giving the user full admin rights on the machine
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ControlsFolder\
PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ControlsFolder\
PowerCfg\PowerPolicies
