To be honest, the fact that Postgres forces you to run as a non-admin
user has given me nothing but headaches. (yes, I know, the problem is
defaulting everyone to admin rights is the problem. But that's where I
am). I have been kicking around the idea of posting a change to allow
you to run as admin, but in the meanwhile if you can build Postgres on
your machine, the fix is very easy. Go into src/backend/main/main.c and
find the line

if (pgwin32_is_admin())

and change it to

if (false && pgwin32_is_admin())
