Well, I have cs3, and it launches fine without them.
If it didn't, I would do something like this.
Admin Tools-> Manage Computer -> Local Users and Groups -> right click groups -> New Group... -> Call it Dreamweaver Users
Right click the new group -> Add Users To Group -> put in my user name -> ok out of everything.
Right click dreamweaver directory -> properties -> security -> edit -> add the Dreamweaver users group and give them full control -> ok out of everything
I don't find this particularly difficult, but I have used windows for awhile now and I tend to pick up how operating systems work fairly easily. I would consider these steps outside the reach of the average person.

"Well, I have cs3, and it launches fine without them."
CS3 doesn't have the issue. That is why I mentioned versions. Some of the older versions actually store stuff outside of that directory.
For an app that is fully contained in one directory..yes, that is the way to do it

"You do not need admin rights for any of the things you mentioned, except possibly zoo tycoon (never tried it). If you are getting elevation prompts, something is very wrong."
Actually Dreamweaver, depending on the version, does require admin rights. As scary as that may seem...
