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.
