Default Must Condor run as Administrator under Windows XP?

The Condor support guys haven't ansered any of my emails for a week. Noone
on the Codor forum has tacked this question, either. So RAS Condor pilots:
does anyone know the answer to this question?

I'd like to run Condor from a non-administrator "limited user" ID under
Windows XP. It gets an error upon startup unless the user is an
administrator. I'd like to use it on a shared PC for training purposes, and
don't want students to be able to change the system, so I want them to sign
on to a "limited" user ID.


I run Condor as a non-administrator user on an Intel Mac booting XP.
IIRC, the software had to be loaded in the administrator window, but it
runs fine for my limited user account. Sorry I can't help you sort out
why it's not working for you. When I have problems with XP I flail
around on the keyboard until it starts working again.
