Opening the saved document with Office will use Protected View as expected, as shown in the screenshot below: Conclusions and Recommendations Since Microsoft states that " UAC elevations are conveniences and not security boundaries ," it is important to realize the value of separate user accounts on a Windows system.
Separate user accounts are a security boundary, and therefore the way to limit access to administrative privileges is to use a separate user account that does not have administrative privileges.
Do not disable the UAC, as this action can affect a system in a way that is outside the scope of just integrity levels. Some applications may inconsistently respect MOTW and some may inconsistently apply the decisions that are made based on those markings. This post has been shared 0 times.

I leave it on because it's tied to the Windows token system and I don't want to mess anything up now that I've installed my programs already. The fact is that if I get an exploit in one of my programs and it asks for admin access I will probably know not to give it. It's a security mechanism that relies on 1 The user making a decision 2 The user being informed on the consequences of those decisions Neither of those are very strong security imo. UAC is best used as a developer tool ie: taking advantage of low rights or at the very least not hogging admin rights whenever possible.

Most of my friends and family who have their own pcs have UAC enabled but dont know what it does or what its for other than being something that dims thier screen occasionally when they click certain things.
They then go ahead and click anyway. The majority of my friends and family dont know what UAC is for and dont care. Personally I think UAC is badly implemented in its default state. For the majority protection is better performed invisibly without any user intervention..

Then, they'll spread the word. Those who hear it, will also disable it, and simply because they also don't understand it. Note: I'm excluding those who know what they're doing, when they disable it. For instance, let's take the example of Java updating mechanism. Java will add an autorun entry, so that from time to time it checks for updates. When this happens, it will ask administrative permissions to the user. Oh, it must be Java wanting to update.
Let me click Yes. Guess what? It was a piece of malware, using a stolen digital signature. It wouldn't be the first time. With this people UAC is a false sense of security and nothing else. They first need to know what's a digital signature and what each UAC alert means. Then, they also should be aware of the fact that malware has used stolen digital signatures before. These people are better off with other preventive measures.
