Actually, looking at my system, I see there are several rights required
for SpamBayes installation that are NOT granted to the basic "Users"
security group:
  -write access to C:\Program Files
  -write access to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (where the outlook addin is
registered)
  -write access to various keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
  -write access the the "default user" subkey of HKEY_USERS
