SuRun
If you run Windows XP in a Limited User Account then SuRun is going to be your new best friend. It’s easy to install and effortless to use. SuRun installs as a service and stores your admin password (encrypted with the Blowfish algorithm).
After it’s installed you have a context menu item named “Run as Administrator”. It’s similar to “Run As” but without entering the admin password every time, and SuRun can be trained to always run certain programs with admin privileges. The other important difference is SuRun elevates the current user’s privileges rather than running the program under the default Administrator account. This means if you install a program with SuRun, that program is installed in your account rather than the Administrator account.
SuRun is a very useful tool and should be part of every WinXP install.
