When I log onto a limited user on my XP Prof. machine I
get the message:

An unknown internet explorer bar requires approval.
Name: browseui.dll

It doesn't matter if I approve or block it, the message
returns when I log onto the userid again. This does not
happen on my admin userid. How can I approve or block
this message always and should it be allowed or blocked?

Thanks
Ken
 
I think you'll need to wait for a further beta version. That or disable the
particular checkpoint which is creating this message.

Yoy can probably locate what this bar is with help from
HijackThis
and remove it.

I've played around a little more and I can fix the
problem by allowing limited users, write access to some
of the files in "c:\Program Files\microsoft antispyware" .
Once again, companies, including Microsoft, haven't
figured out how to build applications that run properly
as a limited user. Don't they realize that one of the
biggest protections against viruses, trojans, spyware and
hacking is to only run as admin when you absolutely have
to?

I ran hijackthis and it didn't report anything about
browseui. As far as I can tell from searching the web,
browseui.dll is a Microsoft IE explorer bar but it
doesn't seem to matter whether I deny or allow it.

Look for bars, O3 strings.

You're absolutely right that this isn't done well in this beta version.
Microsoft bought the technology involved in this beta from a third party,
and released the beta only three weeks after that purchase was completed.
The intent was to help people get their systems clean, I believe.

Shortcomings in this area--both in terms of multiple users, and in terms of
administrative users versus limited users, are acknowledged, and work is
being done already--this stuff will change in future versions of the beta,
or in the final product.
 
Try checking your user folders, i.e. Temp folder,
temporary internet folder, etc. Usually, when something
like this occurs on one user and not the other, it is
limited to the user's files. There may be something in
there trying to change the settings of the browseui.dll
file. Clean the folders and see what happens.

I've seen a message in another group indicating that this alert appears when
Google is set as the search when you hit the IE Search button. Does this
apply in your case?
