I work in a department with a lot of badly written lab software that 
requires admin rights to start. Many of these softwares can be run as a 
regular user if you change the ACL so that users can write to certain 
folders within the main folder for the application, eg tmp or userdata.
Some other software need to write changes to the registry.
Take a "snapshot" of the registry and the program folder right after 
install and then start the program as an administrator.
Take a new snapshot and compare the two for changes.
I havnt found any good software to do this, so I just create a list of 
files and export the registry to compare later.
