IE7 protected mode: Off

I'm running Vista RTM and have UAC enabled and have checked "Enable Proteced
Mode" in IE7 and yet the information bar says "Protected Mode: Off". Is this
just a bug or is Protected Mode actually not running?

Re: IE7 protected mode: Off

Have you turned off UAC?
IE Protected mode does not work when UAC is disabled.

Re: IE7 protected mode: Off

Sure sounds like Protected mode is off...you have double check both the IE
settings and UAC settings?

Re: IE7 protected mode: Off

Yes, UAC is definitely enabled.

Re: IE7 protected mode: Off

In internet options->security ensure enable protected mode is checked for
the desired zone and/or click reset all zones to default level , by default
trusted sites do not run in protected mode.

Re: IE7 protected mode: Off

This behaviour was filed as a bug when i experienced it. I did find,
however, that after a few days the protected mode enabled itself again. I
assumed that Microsoft had fixed this problem.

Re: IE7 protected mode: Off
