UAC off = IE protected mode off
Posted on February 5th, 2010 3 commentsJust wanted to post a quick reminder that if you turn off UAC (User Account Control) in Windows Vista or Windows 7 you also turn off “Protected mode” in Internet Explorer. Turning off UAC is not recommended but if you do, make sure that you run with a standard user account.

As usual when turning off UAC a reboot is required for the changes to take effect.
