Hi Michael, Thanks for that tidbit, I guess that makes sense. DQSD's taskbar instance of IE can't run in protected mode, so any window it launches will probably inherit the non-protectedness.
I don't know of a way to force IE into protected mode -- even if it's launched via double-click on a .html file, it gets Protected Mode: Off, presumably because a local file is considered safer. Maybe if there is a way to configure which sites require Protected Mode, you can add DQSD's %PROGRAMFILES%\Quick Search Deskbar\search.htm or the launch path used for the launchMode where we write out a .html file to your temp dir. Just some random thoughts, - Kim On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 03:35, Michael Kairys <kai...@comcast.net> wrote: > I reported this over a year ago.
