Using this tool for a long time on my Windows XP box! Very simple and usefull. Nice that this version doesn't need that .REG file anymore. And x64 is always a nice thing (although I do not have any PC running on x64 atm)

BTW. I find those posts on this site very usefull. So I guess you have a fan here ;)

Never mind. Was an issue with Google toolbar 4.x. Once I updated to the most recent Google toolbar 5 beta, PrivBar began working.

Very useful. Been using for years, along with DropMyRights.

Yes It's works with Internet Expolorer 8 beta 2

1.Unzip PrivBar to C:

2.Run the command prompt as Administratorin for installation process

3.A If you have version 64 Bit like me type or add these path in the windows command prompt:

regsvr32 C:\PrivBarX64.dll

and

regsvr32 C:\PrivBar.dll

3.B.If you version is 32Bit only this:

regsvr32 C:\PrivBar.dll

4. Go to Internet options>

Advanced>

Browsing>

uncheck the option:

Enable third-party browser extensions

Apply and OK

5.Unlocked Toolbars in Menu Bar> View> Toolbars

6.Close de Internet Explorer Browser if is Open

7.Go to Internet options>

Advanced>

Browsing>

CHECK the option:

Enable third-party browser extensions

Apply and OK

8.Go to Menu Toolbars and check PrivBar toolbar

9.Lock your Toolbars again.

Thanks, Aaron!

Great and necessary add-on Windows!!

It should be a default Windows DLL, or , at least, part of PowerToys or TweakUI or Powershell.

That's "great and necessary add-on FOR Windows!!"

PrivBar doesn't work here any more!

Both on Windows 2000 SP4 + all Hotfixes and Windows XP SP3 + all Hotfixes.

The entry "PrivBar (32-bit)" is displayed in the toolbars menu of Explorer and IE (5.01SP4 on 2K, 6.0SP3 on XP), but enabling it does not show the toolbar.

Other toolbars (including one 3rd party) but work!

I just got my first Vista machine and installed PrivBar and have an odd behavior. First of all, I *HAVE* set Explorer to spawn in its own process in settings. If I have any explorer windows (not the shell) open and I launch another explorer that explorer will take on the privbar status/privileges of the existing window.

Example:

Nothing open

Right-click/Run-As-Admin Explorer (comes up as admin after confirming UAC)

Open another explorer on same short cut, not as admin (comes up admin)

Or Vice-Versa:

nothing open

Run explorer (comes up User)

Right click same, run as admin, get UAC and allow, comes up as user.

Is this intended? I really like the ability to have an admin and regular user explorer open and this prevents that. Is there a way to fix it?

I just installed IE8 and it no longer shows my username. It just shows the circle and the account type. Is there something else to do for IE8 to have it show the username again?

[Aaron Margosis] It's a bug in IE8 -- it doesn't show the title of toolbars, which is where PrivBar puts the username. I'm testing an updated version that puts all the info in the button.

I am running the Privilege Manager from BeyondTrust. Are you familiar with it? It allows you to select "Run Elevated" from a shortcut's context menu. Is there anyway PrivBar chould integrate with this app, so as to display an indication that I am running Explorer elevated?

PrivBar with Dropmyrights worked right with IE7.

Since I have Installed I8 I get this:

To have the red and green points displaided I am forced to check "PrivBar (32)" in the menu bar(right clic)every time I open IE8. The setting of IE8 isn't probably the right one ? Could you help me ?

Here is the organisation:

XP Pro Sp3

C:\Dropmyrigths\Dropmyrigths.exe

C:\Dropmyrigths\PrivBar....Zip

C:\Dropmyrigths\PrivBar.dll

Any news on the updated version that puts the user name on the button in IE8? I would love to be able to see the user name at a glance again.
