HP USB Disk Format Utility as non-admin user

I am looking for a way to run the HP USB Disk Format utility as a non-admin user. I need to run this applicatin to format USB drives as bootable devices. But the application errors stating that I need administrator rights. I have tried being promoted to a Power User and granting full control to the registry keys and .exe. But this has made no difference. Having local administrator rights are against the corporate policy, so could someone advise if there is an alternative please?
