SaferIESI.exe contains 2 files

1) Dropmyrights.exe & 2) SaferIE.exe

Safer IE.exe is just an unUPXed autoit compiled script to launch IE in

reduced privilege. You can change to your fav icon. Also, if dropmyrights.exe is

not found in Program files\Internet Explorer folder, an error msg pop up, thereby

alerting the user.

Start Menu: Start -> All Programs -> Internet Explorer -> SaferIE

SaferIE.exe is set to run in Constrained mode

(BTW, DropMyRights can run in 3 modes: Normal , Constrained, Untrusted)
