Win7 Access Control System does not allow you to alter the contents of any file in Program Files or Program Files (x86) unless you have administrator privileges. That limitation applies to any program you try to run as well. If you are running as an ordinary user (non-administrator), you can create a folder on the root and modify contents with no interference from ACS. But only you , and admins, can do this. Other ordinary users can't.
Once it is installed, SH3 does not modify any files in the game folder, wherever it is installed. But JSGME does, every time you change your active mods. And SH3Cmdr changes files in
its folder every time you use it, AND it changes files in the SH3 game folder every time you use SH3Cmdr to launch SH3.
As you say, if you are the only account on a machine, then you have admin privileges. You would have to use an admin account to set up a user account for yourself that didn't have admin privileges. That's like hiding your own car keys.
