If not, then the program was not made very well. If you grant them access using the Security tab in a folder's properties box, then they might be able to run the program without admin privileges. More detail is needed about the program or files/folders that are being accessed before a good recommendation can be given. Your best bet since you don't want to give that person admin access will be to grant them specific access to the files and folders that the program is trying to use. Even in the event that it does tokenization, it's possible to execute other commands as the administrative user if they "pass the hash" as they say in the security field, (tokens are not encrypted/decrypted as far as I can tell, so they were separated on purpose and even if they are/were, a user can decrypt them). If the user is capable of getting any part of the stored credentials, then they're capable of decrypting the password, (HINT: they will be able to access them or else the program wouldn't work), unless the program uses some tokenization.

Using a program to store credentials is going to be bad no matter how you look at it. Except, due to unpopularity, they disappear quickly. Of course, I do notice third-party security solutions from time to time, that enable what you want. This does the trick for the apps that are stupid enough not to check whether they got what they asked for in their manifests. (This policy came into effect after the 2003 security fiasco.) The closest thing that Microsoft provides is an Application Compatibility Toolkit that allows you to ignore the app's manifest and run with limited privileges. Microsoft's policy is to either not provide or outright deny any and every means that encourages using administrative privileges. That said, this is definitely not a solution to your problem.
Naturally, you have to enter this command in Windows PowerShell instead of Command Prompt. However, try this Windows PowerShell command: Start-Process "Path\To\Software.exe" -Verb "runas" It runs the app, but not with administrative privileges. If User Account Control (UAC) is enabled on your computer (I hope the answer is "yes"), "runas" command does not elevate your privileges.
