How to determine exact permissions a program requires

I am using a very old version of Adobe Premiere (version 6.0). According to Adobe's support site (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/323/323976.html), if I want to use an NTFS file system with Adobe Premiere 6, I must log in as Administrator. Currently, I have to shift-right-click Premiere and "Run as..." Administrator. I don't like to run anything as Administrator or Power Users. Is there anyway to determine exactly which permissions are required by the program? Then I can just assign those permissions to my user account. Even if someone would have an idea of the sort of permissions I should be looking at. I've been playing around with Sysinternals FileMon/RegMon/ProcessMonitor trying to figure it out. Oddly, it runs under a non-Administrator account on Windows 2000 perfectly okay. Thanks for any ideas.

If it is only file permissions you can Google and hope someone has worked it out, 
otherwise you will just have to work it out via trail and error.

Check the permissions on your non-admin w2k account, since it works ok there.
