Thanks for the response, Scott. However I’m not sure you understood my point; perhaps I wasn’t clear.

I realise you can run VS with UAC on. However, if you then run VS as administrator, all the processes which get started by VS also run as administrator. This includes IE, which is embedded into the Document Explorer. If you then open up IE in a separate window by clicking a link in the Document Explorer, then you have full IE running in its own window but with full local admin rights.

You don’t need to run on Vista with UAC turned off. So even if VS is running with administrator privledges, your browser and other applications are not.

Hope this helps,

Scott
