    The first thing that comes to mind is that a lot of programs can be set up to only run while having administrator rights. This means that if you are logged in using a sub-account, you are pretty much limited in what you can do.

    For example, a security program or program that manages Windows features that triggers a UAC prompt may not launch at all if you deny it.

    Fortunately, all of that is part of the past if you use a program such as RunWithRestrictedRights.

    What is RunWithRestrictedRights?

    RunWithRestrictedRights is essentially a command-line tool that uses the Windows Integrity Mechanism to restrict permissions for other applications. This makes it so that they don’t harm your computer.

    How do I use RunWithRestrictedRights?

    RunWithRestrictedRights is a lightweight program that comes in a portable form and can run on Windows XP, but it can also be used on Windows Server 2003 and above.
