Title: IE7 - Protected Mode
Post by: Chalenge on July 25, 2008, 04:40:45 PM

How do you restore IE7 to default settings? Something is messed up between IE7 and UAC (I guess) and my browser reports 'Protected Mode: Off'

ANyone know how to fix that?

I had the same thing happen.  I fixed it by re-installing the OS.  I am sure there would be another way, but I did not have time to dig through and find it.

I am pretty sure he would have tried that.  I did. and it did not make any difference.  Although with Vista I should not assume anything will act the same from one computer to another.

Vista is doing what it was designed to do I guess. UAC and the security settings are a handful to think about. I tried resetting as you suggested and a long time ago but that didnt work. I brought my laptop in and copied the settings from it and nothing. So I did a system restore and that worked. I guess Im lucky I didnt make too many changes beforehand because the earliest restore point was the only one that would fix the problem. From now on when I make changes I will use True Images Try & Decide so if something goes wrong I dont have to sweat it.

Skuzzy I dont want to jump to conclusions but it looks like once you decide to elevate security then your on your own from then on. I really dont want to test it but I wanted to share my impression. Im wondering if people that use Norton have this problem because doesnt Norton more or less take over?

Norton introduces a whole new level of problems with Vista.  Absolutely has to be the worse proram you can install under Vista.

Absolutely has to be the worse program you can install under THE SUN  (in my opinion)

I had firewall at the time. I really think you can make Vista even more secure than it comes and IE7 will report Protected Mode: Off.

I got a free copy of Norton 360 with a cluster of 10 hard drives I bought. Its still unopened.
