Thanks but I can live with the run as Administrator role.
Your solution may be better but I can't spare the time to install even
more stuff.

Hey what about the new lite IIS (forget its name now) I saw released
recently... maybe you can develop against that (I'm sure you can), but
in user mode/Non-Admin?

If I want to publish wcf web services to iis/was I have to run Visual

There is no problem doing this but is there a way around having to do this?
Apart from this, I have not needed to do this for any other development
work.
Peter, this general topic has been bugging me for years. Perhaps 5 years ago
I spent a whole afternoon trying to get my development environment working
as usual under a normal User account, but I got bogged down on hitting F5 in
ASP.NET apps. I gave up back then.
Several months ago I purchased The .NET Developer's Guide to Windows
Security by Keith Brown, and it has a whole chapter on how to develop as an
non-admin. Sadly, the book is so old that Framework 2 was just released, so
most of the advice in the chapter is now obsolete. I got all excited back
then and had another go at non-admin development, but I had to give up
again.
I do develop now as a domain user account in the local Administrators group,
so I still need elevation prompts and "run as admin" shortcuts, which I
don't mind. The whole IIS-admin-developer topic is irritating. If anyone
here does smooth IIS development as a non-admin I'd like to hear what tricks
you use.
