Hi

One way is to use Sysinternals RegMon/FileMon utilities to find what
registry keys/file system folders the application need write access
to and set rights accordingly for the locked down user account.

RegMon/FileMon is available for free here:

http://www.sysinternals.com

Here is another one:

I haven't run the utility in the link below myself, but it looks
interesting as a problem solving tool in some situations, e.g.
like the one you have:

Windows Application Verifier has settings that will
tell you what files/reg keys/etc. the app accesses.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/appcompatibility/appverifier.mspx

The AppVerifier works by monitoring an application's use of the
operating system, including the file system, registry, memory, and
APIs, while the application is being run.
