I recently removed admin rights from all of my users and experienced the same sloppy code pain. For the most part, I've had good luck with just granting the user full control to those directories used by the program. Two notable exceptions are the one case I actually had to grant write access to the root of C (but just the root of C) and the one where I didn't have time to trace down the directories so I gave the user full access to the C drive. . . and promptly created a ghost image of that system.
This brings up another ?. I think this is a good discussion, but it appears most are doing pretty much the same thing. The other question is local admin rights. Some software companies are still writing software that require the user to have local admin rights for their program to work correctly - as Scott says I've had to learn to live with this. It amazes me that a company like Corbel, now Relius with all its MS connections and IT niches is still doing this. Anyway it seems to me that when Vista hits, this is going to be a huge mess.
