[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 812131, member: 50782"] Yes, I used it on my Windows 7 Ultimate. Combining AppLocker + AccessControlList restrictions for that user (e.g. Safe_Surfer) I ran Firefox in a very restrictd container. Moving from Windows 7 ultimate to Windows 10 Pro I lost AppLocker, so dropped this user. I still have a BackupUser which only has write/delete access to an old 250Gb harddisk to backup my Documents folder on my desktop. On this old HD only this BackupUser has full control of that folder. Others have only read rights (ACL's). An easy protection against ransomware when you have an old HD laying around (at night full backup is done to NAS which is disconnected during day).
