I create a hidden share on the desktop that a "scan service account" has write-only access - both at share and file level (I usually have share level open, but accounts that are able to automatically drop stuff onto systems bother me).

I have confirmed that it doesn't run properly if the user is not at least a power user. My question is... is there some way I can tell WHY this app requires this level of permission?
