Internet Explorer 8 Protected mode never worked, Internet Explorer 7's did previous to I upgraded. As I initially declared, Group Policy does not lock out Protected Mode. We would like it on. I can revert back to Internet Explorer 7 - I performed a restore point previous to I installed Internet Explorer 8. But It is still overlook the setting - which for all time states it is on. I have attempted turning it off and click Apply furthermore after that recheck it and click OK, close the explorer and restart still off, except it is in reality displaying the status inaccurately in the Internet Explorer window. Is there a easy test to confirm if it is on or else off in case the display in fake?
