Folders Not Showing In Internet Explorer 10 Protected Mode

Ok, this question has been asked around many corners of the Internet and these forums and I haven't found a "real" answer so I'm asking it again and hopefully seeking a final resolution to the problem.

Symptoms

When "Protected Mode" is turned On, users are unable to view some folders in the file upload dialog that they can normally view (e.g. under Documents, Pictures, etc.).
When viewing the same folders in Explorer running as the same user as the Internet Explorer instance, the missing folders are viewable.
Launching Internet Explorer "as an administrator" allows the user to view the missing folders (but this is not recommended due to security concerns).

Workarounds

So far, the workaround that I found was to either run some crazy tool from BleepingComputer called Unhide that resets everything on your system -- this is the sledge hammer-to-thumbtack approach. Another one was to go into Organize > Folder and search options > View and uncheck the hide options and select the show radio option. The last one was to search for the folder in the file upload dialog, right-click the folder, and uncheck Hidden.

None of these, IMHO, are valid solutions to the real problem which is that something is special about this folder that is causing IE in Protected Mode to treat the file as Hidden.

Thoughts

The last "workaround" seems to indicate that the "hidden" file attribute is set for the file, but this doesn't appear to be true if you view the file outside of Protected Mode security. If you right-click the folder within Explorer or you run ATTRIB, the file attributes appear normal.

What I'm thinking is that there is an extended attribute associated with this file that is not normally viewable in the file properties dialog. Similar to the "temporary" file flag that gets set with some files that causes DFSR to not replicate them. However, when I look at the File Attributes with fsutil, both folders (one that is shown and one that isn't shown under Protected Mode) are 0x10 (which is simply DIRECTORY). I also verified the same with PowerShell looking at the Attributes property of the directory (System.IO.FileAttributes object): the value__ is 16 which is 0x10 (DIRECTORY).

So, it seems that the process of displaying folders (and possibly files) in either Protected Mode or the common dialog for file selection uses somethingother than the file attributes when determining what is displayed and not displayed.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

IE9 Authentication Extreamly Slow.

≪ Previous: Folders Not Showing In Internet Explorer 10 Protected Mode

Beginning of August we migrated our second site to Windows 2008 R2 with Windows 7 on all our client machines.

This has given us some issues as the Intranet site which we using on our main site which is using Authentication takes forever in IE9 in windows7.

So then I did some testing........

The New web server is Windows 2008 R2 IIS7.5.

With Anonymous on, everything works fast. With it off everything then works slow for our new second site.

If I then load our old Intranet site in IE9 by using our old web server which is running IIS6 we still get this issue.

If I then load our old and new Intranet sites into Chrome everything works super fast and perfect.

Looking online everyone thinks its down to IIS7/7.5 or down to "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" or something along these line. THEY DO NOT WORK!! So forget it.

The issue is with IE9 in general. So my question is this. When is microsoft going to fix this mess?

≪ Previous: java not detected ie10

We are trying to configure IE (Internet Explorer 9) on our user PCs so that, for a given file type "EXT", IE immediately opens the file without the user being prompted.

After some investigation, I have added a registry key here:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
"EXT"=hex(0):

This works very well for all cases other than the very first time the user downloads a file of that type.

Until the user has first manually clicked "Open" for a file of that type ("EXT", matching the value name in the registry key), file downloads of that type will just give the user a "Save As" dialog. Once the user has once selected "Open" (from the Downloads dialog in IE) for the first time for any file of the given type, all subsequent files with the same extension will just open as desired.

Has anyone seen this before? If so, do you know a fix?

Is there a flag in IE settings / registry akin to "ok-now-you-can-go-ahead-for-files-of-this-type"?

Using IE 10, I went to a site and clicked on a PDF. I got the dialog at the bottom of the IE window to "Disable" or "Always Ignore" when trying to load the Acrobat viewer. I clicked the wrong one.

How do I "undo" or reset that for the site? Now I can't view any PDF's on that site. Right now, my alternative is to use Chrome...

(BTW, these are not labeled in a very user-friendly manner - I have 25+ years experience with software development and even I have trouble picking the right one...)

IE 10 (Modern or desktop) on my Win8ProMediaCenter-64 laptop is crashing every time I browse to flickr.com. If I get a chance to force compatibility mode before it crashes, when it restarts, it can open flickr.com. Machine is current with all patches. Have tried flushing IE cache and running IE in Safe Mode. Neither changed situation. Have another machine (a desktop Win8ProMediaCenter-64 also current with all patches) that works fine with flickr.com. Don't see issues with IE on other sites on the laptop. Writing this with IE 10 desktop from that laptop right now.

Any suggestions how to resolve this short of something truly invasive like creating a new user profile?

Same ol' IE8/Win7 install question, different reason

≪ Previous: flickr.com crashes IE10

I'm working in a corporate environment where the Win7 workstations are pretty locked down. Users are not allowed to do things via Control Panel / Programs.... nor to update their own systems.

But I need a way to re-install or repair IE8 when necessary. I'm wondering if there is a command that I can kick off (using admin privileges if needed, via our deployments) to repair IE8's install. That is, if it can be done via Control Panel / Programs .../"Turn Windows Features On or Off", then there surely must be an underlying command to perform the repair.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? Also please note that if I try to use the IEAK to design a deployment of IE8, it only applies settings and has absolutely no effect on the program files themselves. [I tested by renaming iexplore.exe, and the file was not replaced through any method that I tried to re-install IE8, except going via control panel as noted above.)

Thanks for any assistance.

Hello all,

in our environment, there are some users who don't have AD account and need to use SSO with a web application but it failes with Win7/IE8

there is a suggested solution to disable PreAuthentication in IE by the following:

On Client PC, navigate to “regedit/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/”
Add a new DWORD entry “DisableNTLMPreAuth”
Change/modify its decimal value to “1”

could you please advise if this is has any security impact? and any link which discuss in details what is this IE preauthentication?

Thanks & Regards

IE 9 32 bit shortcut now opens up 64 bit IE 9

≪ Previous: Updated windows and now IE9 cannot display this webpage! HELP!!

Hi.

I have a problem starting to occur where users IE 9 is starting to open up in IE9 64bit.

Let me explain.

When a user selects IE 9 from either the task bar or in the start menu and selects Internet Explorer (NOT the 64bit option), the browser opens in 64bit!

Looking into the shortcut for the 32 bit IE, the target has been changed to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.

This has started to happen for a number of users here. We are a school and we have internal applications that need the 32bit IE.

I am starting to think that a Windows Update recently installed has caused this problem, as up until about a month ago, we have never had this problem.

This update was the last to be applied to IE in July 2013:
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2846071) (2846071) (MS13-055)

Now I can change simply correct this per user basis (well for staff anyway - students are locked down) so the IE target is back to C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe.

The Operating system we use is WIN 7 Enterprise SP1 64bit.

Nothing has been changed in any of the Group policy settings that relate to IE.

It also seems to be profile based, not computer based.

Looking forward to seeing some suggestion as what to try...

Thanks

Internet Explorer 10 New Tab problem

≪ Previous: IE10 Access Denied

Ok, I’am domain admin and recently, I have created (under Windows Server 2012):

1. User IE 10 GPP (User Configuration > Preferences > Control Panel Settings > Internet Settings (Internet Explorer 10))

2. General IE GPO.

There is small number of Windows 7 SP1 x64 workstations with IE 10 installed, and there I have one big problem: IE 10 opentarget="_blank" links innew window instead of new tab!

In User GPP for IE 10, I have this settings:

No GPO is defined for tab behavior.

That GPP is successfully applied to the (Windows 7 SP1 x64 (with latest windows updates applied)) workstations with IE 10.

But, then the problem starts:

if user IS member local or domain admin group, IE 10 open links with target="_blank" in new tab.

If user IS NOT member of local or domain admin group, every target="_blank" is open in new window. Even CTRL + mouse click open normal links in new window, instead of new tab. Same as if I right click link and select "open in new tab" - new windows again!

I did reset IE settings (Internet Options > Advanced > Reset) couple of times on many workstations, it didnt help.

example:

Visit W3Schools hyperlink

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_a_target

my NON (DOMAIN/LOCAL) ADMIN account – IE 10 open hyperlink innew window.
my DOMAIN ADMIN account – IE 10 open hyperlink in new tab.

Use the Command line to help understand why this is happening.

E.g. a WMI query done in Powershell would be:
PS C:\> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Process | Where-Object {$_.Name -match 'iexplore'} | ft ProcessId, CommandLine -AutoSize

Hi Robert,
I did what you told me, and here is the result after opening “Visit W3Schools” hyperlink as:

      4832 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" SCODEF:4568 CREDAT:668692 /prefetch:2

Report Viewer Webpart IE9 issue -Reports not visible

≪ Previous: Internet Explorer 10 New Tab problem

Hi,

we have several installations using Sharepoint 2010 together with Reporting Services 2008 and 2008R2.

When displaying reports in Sharepoint through the report viewer webpart, the rendering in IE9 will sometimes not display the report. This means the Sharepoint site including the report viewer headline is visible, but the report itself is not rendered. After pressing ctrl+F5 the report most of the time will show up. When viewing the logs of reporting services it is clear that the report has been executed, but as stated it was not visible in IE9.

Even when forcing IE9 to render all Websites in compatibility mode there is no change. Out of 10 times the report is roughly 3 times not visible.

On systems still using IE8 there are no problems at all.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Andre
