Secure locations are limited to the following: - ?\Program Files\, including subfolders - ?\Windows\system32\ - ?\Program Files (x86)\, including subfolders for 64-bit versions of Windows Note: Windows enforces a public key infrastructure (PKI) signature check on any interactive application that requests to run with a UIAccess integrity level regardless of the state of this security setting. The options are: - Enabled: (Default) If an application resides in a secure location in the file system, it runs only with UIAccess integrity. - Disabled: An application runs with UIAccess integrity even if it does not reside in a secure location in the file system.
