Hi, I've got a question regarding using asynchronous pluggable protocol (APP) under IE 7 protected mode in Vista. My protocol is based on the article here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/DataProtocol.aspx . And the protocol has the syntax of myprogram://something . The APP needs to use named pipes for communication so that it can retrieve the response from a pipe server and return it to the browser. It looks like IE 7's protected mode will block any CreateFile attempt to connect to a writable pipe. It only allows writing to "low integrity locations". I tried several different security settings to create this pipe. The connection will only be successful when IE is ran with administrator's privilege (protected mode is off). But I would of course prefer that the connection can be established without the admin privilege. How do I workaround this problem? Should I tell IE that my custom URL is in the trusted zone? I'm not sure how I should handle IInternetProtocolInfo::ParseUrl to achieve this. Or is there any other ways that can make this work? -- Thanks in advance, Bill Holt
