Hi Ty,

In windows API, we can use IEIsProtectedModeProcess function to determine whether IE is running under protected mode. However, on page script, we can only try executing something that is not allowed in protected mode and catch the exception to determine it.

Thanks for the suggestion. If capturing the exception from a prohibited operation is the best way to do this then does any have a suggestion about what the best 'prohibited' operation to use?

My goal is to make the test as reliable as possible i.e. as few false positives as possible.


Is it too late to ask Microsoft to add a mechanism that provides this functionality for scripts?


Thanks.
