For windows95,98, me, the person you were originally talking to is correct... But he is only correct as there is no way to login with a less restrictive account. In those particular operating systems you are always logged in with full privileges. This is not a bug or a flaw, the OS is not designed to allow different users or segmentation of privileges, the functionality just doesn't exist.

Now with any OS based on the NT kernel, Catch is 100% correct that running IE as something other than admin resolves almost all flaws that resolve around IE automatically running scripts/virii etc...


Ikalo- You were probably trying to save the files into a directory that you did not have permissions to save them in. I use run as all the time and never have issues saving files.
