Users shouldn't, but often have to
Until the Windows software OEMs stop writing their apps to require write access to system directories, some users are just going to have to run with admin privileges. (Can somebody please explain to me why I need admin privileges to burn a CD? confused )

And what idiot at Microsoft approved putting the global temp directory inside the protected-for-a-good-reason system directory?
