Permissions issue with Studio

I've been trying to set up a Windows 2000 environment at home for the purpose of coding Netlinx. In an effort to make Windows semi-secure, I've set up a "normal" user which I will use for routine non-sysadmin work, e.g. Netlinx coding. This user is a "user" in Windows 2000 terminology, i.e. no access to system areas. My theory is that when the system gets 0wn3d, rogue processes won't be able to do damage because they're running as a non-privileged user.

[Why 2000 and not something newer? Because that's what I have an installer CD for, and I'm not going to buy a new PC when I don't need to.]

In the course of testing things, I've found that Studio 2.4 (build 2.4.0.126) apparently wants to write files to c:\{blahblah}\system32\config, which of course "user" isn't allowed to do, so the compiler fails with

'ERROR: (0): C10580: Internal Error: Major system error occurred during code generation'

If I set permissions on c:\{blahblah}\system32 so that "user" has read/write/modify access, the error goes away, but this defeats the purpose of the existence of "user".

Is there some workaround, or do I just have to live with not being able to get any work done unless I'm root?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
