Limitations in Visual Studio 2008 when using account privileges

Unfortunately I am missing administrator rights on my machine. This makes me wonder what are the limitations when developing Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition? I believe that one of these restrictions may not be able to write to the filesystem?

What else? Can I write to My Documents (using XP Pro)?

For most day-to-day operations, running Visual Studio as a non-admin user is straightforward. I run it as a restricted user on pretty much all of my machines, rarely having a problem doing it.

However, there are several limitations.



  • Can perform certain types of profile operations as a restricted user
  • Some remote debugging scenarios require administrator rights.
  • The default configuration to deploy to local IIS installations in II6 requires admin privs

The only thing I know is not possible without admin rights is to have a Web Application Application project that has "Use IIS" set to true under the web options.
