Curious, how do you do that via GPO?  a custom ADM?

Ahh yes, we do have all users in one global group, and that global group is auto-added to every local administrators group on each PC through GPO.  I guess that explains that.

Being a local admin on a PC does not give them the ability to see another machine's C$ share. This would occur if you added a group (local admins) to the administrators group on all PCs and then added users to that group instead of doing it on a user by user basis. That said, I would look for any and all ways of NOT giving users local admin rights on their computers, although I know in some instances, usually due to poor coding, it can't be avoided.

Well someone just realized that since all our users are local admins on their PCs that they can map to another users C$ share and see all their data.  They asked mgmt if they knew about that, and now of course, they're concerned about it.  It's been this way for years, but I digress.
 
SO, what is the general conscensus on giving users full ability to install/remove software at will, but not allowing them to map to other PCs c$ drives?  Make everyone Power Users instead?  Is there anything that they might lose from going from local admins to power users on their PCs besides this c$ mapping functionality?
