With UAC (or MIC) off it can't work. Quote

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 No, Protected Mode is dependent on UAC being enabled.

You want everyone discussing LCD monitors, CD-RW/DVD-RW drives, or RGB/DVI video connects to spell them out? Computer science is hardly the only ken that has a massive proliferation of acronyms. Try being in a room full of doctors of various practices. UAC: User Account Control MIC: Mandatory Integrity Control UIPI: User Interface Privilege Isolation The OP (and perhaps you) might find the following helpful to understand the terms: "Protected Mode in Vista IE7" http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/02/09/528963.aspx Quote

Of course the actual intended communication here is to make another of many negative comments so I will avoid providing you with more ammunition. I know you will be delighted to continue attacking forever. Quote
