Run Program as Limited User

I thought there was a simple way to do this... when logged in as Administrator, I have a
Windows XP .exe program that, for security reasons, I only want it to run as a limited
user (NOT with Admin privileges).

I thought I could right-click the .exe and select a setting to do this, but I can't find
a setting.

How can I set a .exe file so that, even when logged in as an Administrator, it will
ALWAYS run as a limited user?

Thanks!!

FYI, the program accesses the CD/DVD drive, and I don't want the program to let anything
on the CD/DVD drive to operate with Administrator privileges.

You may try to remove other users from the Security tab. Remember
administrator can't do any thing he wants.

A better approach is to use TrustNoExe to block executables running from the
CD drive. This also takes care of the possibility of malicious autorunning
CD-R's, which the alternate-user approach does not. If you DO need to
install an app from CD, there's an option to turn the protection off until
next reboot.
