A program that you've set to run at startup for all users is poorly coded,
and will only work for administrators. Disable them in turn to determine
which one(s) are causing the problem.

Most modern office type programs should work just fine in a non admin
account. I've run Office XP, Office 2003 and OpenOffice in this way before
now. Are you seeing a problem with this or are you just wondering about what
might happen in the future?
