    Navigate to the following key in regedit:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent

    There you can create a new string value named "Version". If you assign to this value the string "MSIE 10.0", for example, IE 11 will report itself as IE 10 (after next logon).

    Other parts of the user agent string can also be modified this way, but I can't recall how at this point from memory.
