Is there a way to change the user account rights?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We have recently demoted users from admin to user. So far everything
seems fine, except for one application that needs access to a folder
on the C Drive. We are in a NDS, not Active Directory, environment
and cannot grant the rights on the local machine to that one folder/
directory.

Does anyone now how to get around this? I cannot put the application
on my server because it requires USB keys and must be run locally. I
could promote the two users in question to power users, but would
prefer not to.

Any ideas would be great.

Thanks...Dennis
