Which you should never do. An application package's installer might need those priveleges, but the bookkeeping application itself should not. Speaking for myself, I make a point of not running applications with administrator priveleges, except those which have a clear reason. My preferred virus scanner is one example. Installers are another, but Intuit's behavior leaves me much more reluctant to trust a vendor-supplied installer. Fortunately, I don't think those are so necessary, these days...?
