I'm forced to use SourceSafe at my job. There is no way this is going to change. I would like to use another source control for my own need in parallel. I want to be able to keep an history of my modifications, branch easily and merge. I can install any application that doesn't requires admin rights. I cannot install Python or anything that integrates in File Explorer.
I'm not much of a command line guy so a GUI is a must. I managed to install Mercurial but not TortoiseHG. There is a chance msysgit would install but the GUI isn't very good.
Any suggestions?

No, You cannot install without administrator privilege but there are Windows configurations that forbid non-admin users from installing executables on the computer that would necessitate administrator access to successfully install LFS. How do I hack server games?
We can force the regedit.exe to run without the administrator privileges and suppress the UAC prompt. For that, we simply drag the EXE file we want to start to this BAT file on the desktop. Then the Registry Editor should start without a UAC prompt and without entering an administrator password.
If your laptop is controlled by an administrator, you will find it very hard to install software, because non-administrative standard users may be unable to install any new or modify any existing software.
you can install svn command line just by unzipping it, but if you want TortoiseSVN for the GUI then I you may need admin rights, not sure. But you don't need a separate gui if your IDE supports SVN, like Eclipse or any other java IDE does.

Git has a pretty nice command-line interface with color and auto-completion. After reading the Pro Git Book I found the command-line is great.
There is GUI bundled with it. It is nice for viewing logs and merges but may be not to your taste. There is also a TortoiseGit shell extension (like the famous TortoiseSVN), but that would require admin privileges to install (as opposed to Git portable).
