What tools can I use to quickly determine what settings I must change
to let an application that wants local admin access run under
restricted user rights (like Power User or Domain User)? We have a
couple of apps that we use that just refuse to work without
administrator access (so far, anyway.) If I can determine what
resources they need access to I can see about granting rights to
those...but I don't know what they are.

I'm looking for the fastes way so commercial products are OK
(naturally, freebies are welcomed, too!) Instructions on their use is
probably a good thing, too!

Have you tired using the "RunAs" service, accessible from Control
Panl>>Administrative Tools>>Services? This will allow you to run an app as an
admin or other user who has the necessary prvileges, but grants this right to
any app using the "RunAs" service. This service becomes available on a right
click of Windows Explorer on the app.

Hope this helps.
