I have experienced a problem with a few simple applications in NT, wherein the application or a component will only run with administrator privileges and not on a normal user account. Why is it that some simple applications (that do not have any security controls)and that should normally allow a user to run, will run only with an administrator ID? Is it possible to allow users to run these applications without giving them administrator rights?
Thanks in advance.

have you modified the permission for the files of that SW or the permissions of the HDD's?
 
If so, find the directory app resides in, uncheck inherit permissions, and then give the user group you wan't whatever level of access you wish. you can put the necessary shortcuts in all users start menu. (right click on Start)
