Here's a good explanation of the benefits of protected mode.
"In Protected Mode, Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista cannot modify user
or system files and settings without user consent. Protected Mode requires
the user to confirm any activity that tries to put something on your machine
or start another program. By ensuring the user consents to these kinds of
actions, the likelihood of automated and/or unwanted software installation
is reduced. This feature also makes you aware of what a website is trying to
do, giving you a chance to stop it and take time to double check the
trustworthiness of the website. "
If you're users have admin accounts then protected mode adds significant
security. If they have limited user accounts then I don't know that
protected mode makes as much difference. Perhaps others can comment on
this?
