Don't forget the number of folks who set UAC to not use a secure

How can I check to make sure that UAC is set to use a secure
desktop? I only found one screen to control UAC setting, and there is
no mention of secure desktop there. Thanks.

It's in the registry
(HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System), or
could be accessed in security policies (secpol.msc).

Which OS version are you using again?
