I have two apps that require local machine administrative rights to
run. This presents a security issue our management would like to
avoid. How can I run these apps without granting every user local
admin rights? (I have tried RUN AS but that does not seem to let the
app write changes to the registry, etc.)

Log on as Admin, export the Application keys from HKCU, and merge this .reg
file during the regular user logon
or
Relax the permissions on the Application keys only.

You might want to test the compatws.inf on a computer before applying it in
production.
