    Another way might be finding out, what additional permissions a normal
    user would need, adjusting ACLs accordingly and removing the users from
    the Local Administrators groups. Regmon [1] and Filemon [2] may be
    helpful in this process.
    I have up to now run into few programs I couldn't convince of running
    with less privileges than suggested by $VENDOR.

    ACK.
