Vista/Win7 priveleges

I use Install Creator to make Windows installers. There is this warning
in the docs:
"Note about Vista: on Vista you shouldn't run your program from the
installer, as it will be executed with administrator privileges. For
example any file created with your program in administrator mode won't
be overridable the next time your application will be executed, unless
it is run as administrator."
How limiting is this to the average user? I know Vista/Win7 enforce a
sort of super-admin mode and I think this is what installers use. Does
this mean that any documents created after an auto-launch will not be
accessible at all when the program next runs as a standard user? Even if
they are logged in as admin? Or if not, what limitations would be
enforced? I'm not clear on what "overridable" means here.
