Not in safemode.

As I recall windows has a sub-admin reserved and only accessible in safemode with no way to password it.

Though they could have removed this in windows 7, Its been awhile.

Right click on windows bar, click "Task manager" and view if its opening in the background listed as iexplorer.exe

If it comes down to it, reinstall or update IE
