It is an issue even if you DO have administrator rights. The only way for you to avoid problems with games like SHV in Program Files is if you run your computer with UAC turned off.

The problem is that everything in Program Files is Read Only by default. You can change it while you have the window open, but the min you close it then it reverts to Read-Only. It makes modding, parsing files and many other things a hassle if not impossible.

The game itself did not default to Program Files... why did people go out of their way to point it there? This has been a known issue since Vista.
