Selectively Drop Admin Rights
Michael Howard's latest article includes a great utility to allow users running as an administrator (who doesn't?) to drop administrative rights for certain applications. The DropMyRights utility can be used to start any application, such as your web browser or email client, without dangerous administrative priviledges. This is a great way to get many of the security benefits of running as a normal user without all the hassle.
