The software manufacturer says that because MS doesn't allow users without
admin rights to mess with the registry, then I have to have an admin account
to install/use it.

If what you mean is right clicking on the program and going to properties,
then I can't see anything remotely similar to "security" or any way of
altering how the program functions. If I'm interpreting you wrong as to the

into the properties of the program and alter security.

Thanks for your time and effort
