Browse safe with internet explorer

If you don't/hate to/can't use account with limited credentials for your normal work in windows, you can still use the following program which will run Internet Explorer and default mail agent with limited credentials:

Why is that useful: While browsing the internet you can come across malicious web site, which hosts exploits for your browser. If your browser is vulnerable, malicious things could be installed on your system (mostly spyware). By running the browser with limited credentials you can limit the impact of the infection, because the malware can't access important systems folders. For more info check the manufacturer's web site.

Some notes:

• It changes the IE and mail agent's shortcuts on the desktop and quick launch toolbar
• It does more or less the same thing as Microsoft's DropMyRights, but it is a little more user-friendly
• Internet Explorer has to be set as default web browser (have know idea why)
  
• You won't be able to install active-x/plug-ins this way (ie. flash plugin), but you can of course still run IE normal way from shortcut in start menu
• 1-defender doesn't handle .html links, so if you double click on the .html or .htm, IE with full credentials will open.
