I think it should have the same drawbacks as setsafer though wrt google desktop etc, as it uses windows policy settings. Maybe now google has fixed these issues, I'm still using the approach in this post and have had no more spyware issues, but have not tried the google products again.

If you somehow share the computer with other people, then setSAFER makes more sense. I know about dropmyrights, but I tried it, and it did not work when trying to limit explorer.exe, it gave out an error. While psexec works fine. I like to limit explorer.exe to open files in general.

And it describes the situation that many of us have faced as a result of the ill-advised upgrade to Vista. I thought the posting by Rist was very much to the point.
