Ken,
Running as a Domain Administrator removes UAC on Vista, I believe it is the
same on Windows 7. Even Internet Explorer will run in the administrative
privilege with this user.
You found the Word.Application in the HKCR/Classes, it has a CLSID entry. Go
to this in HKCR/Classes/CLSID. I believe this is where you need to add that
Elevation key.
HKCR = HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
