you could always still see the ppc "spash" no mater what the setting, but the PPC and trail on route became invisible until it reached a certain distance, determined by the setting. Smaller the number the farther out the ppc had to go before it was visible.
eta "e_ParticlesMaxDrawScreen = 0.025"
Gives a good balance between "OMG I'm blind from UAC!", and "WTF I can't see where ppc are coming from?"
YMMV
