How can you avoid future for allowing the Windows Azure emulator in Visual Studio to be able to run without needing admin privileges?
Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio - The Windows Azure compute emulator must be run elevated.

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.
Method 1: Start/restart your computer. Immediately hold F8 until you enter Advanced Boot Options. Choose Safe Mode so that your computer will boot into safe mode and get into the built-in administrator.
It is now possible (as of Windows Azure SDK 2.1) to run the azure emulator without admin privileges. You can choose a 'Use Emulator Express' option in the project properties in Visual Studio, see Debugging a Cloud Service with Emulator Express.
You can also, pass /useemulatorexpress to csrun on the command line.
Limitations Before you use Emulator Express, you should be aware of some limitations:
Your cloud service can contain multiple roles, but each role is limited to one instance.
You can't access port numbers below 1000. For example, if you use an authentication provider that normally uses a port below 1000, you might need to change this value to a port number that's above 1000.
Any limitations that apply to the Windows Azure Compute Emulator also apply to Emulator Express. For example, you can't have more than 50 role instances per deployment.
