There are good reasons for running as a limited user and only logging in as admin when you need to. The best reason is that since you can't install software, it's less likely that you will have malware/spyware installed on your machine without your knowledge.
That's why I'm reading this post, I was looking to do the same thing.

For better explanations than I could ever come up with concerning admin rights,and all other things XP visit this forum...
