maybe set it up to run as a service. or run it from a scheduled task where
you can specify the user name and password you want it to run as.

Hi

One way is to use Sysinternals RegMon/FileMon utilities to try to find
what registry keys/file system folders the application need write
access to and set rights accordingly for the locked down user account.

RegMon/FileMon is available for free here:
