Certain Programs Do Not Work Correctly If You Log On Using a Limited User Account

To work around this behavior, you can grant Administrative access to individual programs by using the following steps:

1. Right-click the program’s file name or shortcut.
2. Click Advanced, click Run with different credentials, and then click OK.
3. Start the program.
4. When you receive a prompt, enter an administrative user ID and password.

----------------------------------------------------

"If your game or application works with admin accounts, but not with
limited accounts, you can fix it to allow limited users to access the
program files folder with "change" capability rather than "read" which
is the default.

C:\>cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p users:c

where "appfolder" is the folder where the application is installed.

If you wish to undo these changes, then run

C:\>cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p users:r

If you still have a problem with running the program or saving
settings on limited accounts, you may need to change permissions on
the registry keys. Run regedit.exe and go to HKLM\Software\vendor\app,
where "vendor\app" is the key that the software vendor used for your
specific program. Change the permissions on this key to allow Users
full control."
