Run Profiler as non-admin

Via Tara: This forum post shows a method of setting up access to Profiler without granting sysadmin access.

It's not perfect -- a network trace or possibly hex-editing the executable will give up the password. But it's at least somewhat better than giving sysadmin access to every member of a development team, just so Profiler can be run (as I've had to do on multiple occasions).

So you can't wait until Yukon and your developers want profiler access but you don't want to give them...
