Understanding the Protected Mode Elevation Dialog

Internet Explorer 7 introduced Protected Mode, a feature which helps ensure that the browser and its add-ons run with a minimal set of permissions. Code running inside the “Low Rights” process doesn’t have permission to write to your user-profile’s folders or registry keys, which helps to constrain the damage if a bad guy manages to find a vulnerability within the browser or its add-ons. To help ensure compatibility, Protected Mode employs a system of virtualization to help ensure that code that runs within Protected Mode will continue to work even when its permissions are restricted.
