UAC off = IE protected mode off

UAC off = IE protected mode off

By Andreas Stenhall February 5, 2010 User Account Control, Windows 7, Windows Vista 3 Comments

Just 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.
