How to turn off Protected Mode of IE?

Protected Mode helps protect users from attack by running an IE process with greatly restricted privileges. It uses the Windows Vista integrity mechanism to run the Internet Explorer process at low integrity.

With Protected Mode turned on, you may encounter problems when running Dynamic Web TWAIN applications.

To run Dynamic Web TWAIN applications well on Windows 2008/Vista/7, you can take one of the following tricks:

1. Turn Protected Mode off.

To turn off the protected mode of IE, you can go to Tools->Internet Options->Security and uncheck "Enable Protected Mode (requires restarting Internet Explorer)" option.

2. Add the website to the zone of trusted sites.

3. To temporarily elevate permissions of IE: click Start, point to All Programs, right-click IE, and then select Run as Administrator (with Administrator permissions).
