Vista's UAC control is on by default for all users, even the admin. When elevated privileges are needed the UAC will prompt for them. If you are logged on as admin you will not need to enter in any credentials. So yes the admin account IE will have same permissions until you change it.

Question about VISTA and IE7 .... If you are a using an administrator account for surfing the web does vista downgrade you to a non-admin level for the purpose of surfing ? I thought I read something about this as a "New !, Improved ! Lower TCO !, Higher ROI !" thing that vista did for security ... but I'm reeling from too much marketing BS. Point is one application works on XP but fails on VISTA and I'm wondering if there is some setting somewhere .. perhaps like the user account control that would need tweaking. Gut feeling says this application is failing as it can't do something a XP admin can do by default Any suggestion ( Apart from locking my computer in a thermo-nuclear bunker or using Gods* own choice of browser rather than Satans IE7) gleefully received. ;-> Davey * Insert Deity of your choice here
