RE: Intranet zone full trust in vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi Bryan,

With UAC (User Account Control:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa906021.aspx) turned on
(which is also the default setting), when an administrator logs on to a
computer, the system creates two different tokens
(http://www.pluralsight.com/wiki/default.aspx/Keith.GuideBook/WhatIsAToken.h
tml) representing the same logon session
(http://pluralsight.com/wiki/default.aspx/Keith.GuideBook/WhatIsALogonSessio
n.html). The first token grants all the permissions and privileges afforded
to the administrator while the second token is a restricted token, offering
far fewer permissions and pvivileges. The system then creates the shell
(explorer.exe) using the restricted token.

Setting .NET Code Access Security Policy will require administrative
privilege, and you will need elevation
(http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Understanding-User-Account-Control-V
ista.html) to launch the CAS tool with the unrestricted token.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you need further
information.

Sincerely,
Walter Wang (wawang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
