Today at TechEd Ben Fathi , the new Vice President of security at Microsoft, and some of his team members highlighted improvements to User Account Control that we can expect to see in the product by Windows Vista RC1. During the talk they showed how they are working to reduce prompts by placing them more intelligently. How they have altered ACL’s in certain locations like the “Public Desktop” folder to allow the deletion of shortcuts etc. from the common desktop as a standard user without a long series of prompts. Lastly they showed a new feature that will be included with Windows Vista RC1, a service called “Activex Management Service”. This service which will sit between the browser and the Windows Explorer to facilitate the installation of ActiveX controls, if approved by an administrator, by a standard user. | ||
