IE Protected Mode Problem?!

Hi all,

We've developed an ie-add (with add-in express) in which saves some information on locally. (to the application path) But without "run as administrator" or "disabling protected mode" it's not allowed.

Is there any way to accomplish this? Any way to load add-in with administrator privilige? (manifest files does not work for dll's) or any way to disable protected mode with user approval?

Thank you!

Long and short of it: call IEGetWriteableFolderPath().

so you mean it's impossible for us to save different location with protected mode enabled.

What I mean is that a Low Integrity process can only write to Low Integrity write locations. That's the security model. You have to work within it.

Hi Ekin,

I don't think there's a way to disable Protected Mode programmatically. I assume we have to live with it. Find some pointers of how to do this in HowTo: Deal with Protected Mode API in Internet Explorer 7 and IE8
