How can an average user, XP Pro SP3, be given the right to run a repair on
the Windows wireless utility. I have 80+ laptops on the network and need to
find a registry tweek or work around so the users have the option to run a
repair when the laptop fails to get an IP Address.

Ken,

Wouldn't it make sense to figure out why the network is damaged, and a repair is
needed? "Run a repair" is simple enough (given admin access), but if it's an
ongoing need, maybe there's a problem.

Windows XP, in general, is pretty stable, and I can count on a couple fingers
the number of times that I have had to repair a connection using the "Repair"
button. If you find that your users are needing to do this routinely, maybe you
ought to look at why they have to do this.
