    Clearly the previous OS's didn't make it easy to not run as admin, but it is possible in XP, 2000 and 2003, despite a few jumps and hoops.

    Please have your admin install the following, and then you may try to run them as a non-admin user:

    Over at sysinternals.com, there's filemon, and regmon. These are real-time registry/file activity loggers, will show which processes access which files with the result code (open success/fail/permission denied/disk full/file not found/etc). These are absolutely invaluable tools, especially when you come across a new virus that your virus scanner doesn't pick up and general bug hunting... sysinternals has the most useful tools that I really miss from the unix world.
