(script) Internet Explorer

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

The first thing you should do after a fresh install is to remove EDGE (and Defender) the second is to not install a giant spyware like Chrome.

The third one is to get a decent browser for the modern WEB like Vivaldi, then, when needed,use IE6 standalone or via the IEtab extension inside Vivaldi.

 

Search for aveyo's uninstaller script here on the forum

I think you can use SxSv1 or alike to grab the packages from any ISO/LiveOS before February (I mean the same build 1904x or whatever are you using), remove any fake IE package that may be present on your installation, then simply add back the older and functional using dism.

 

Create file UninstallEdge.cmd with content below and run it.

Note: It may not work if you have latest (updated) version of Microsoft Edge, because Microsoft recently blocked uninstallation options.

Code:

@echo off

fsutil dirty query %systemdrive% >nul 2>&1

With the latest KB 5031356, I can't open IE anymore. Disabling IEToEdge doesn't work. Any suggestions? I don't want to uninstall EDGE. I don't know if it is a configuration problem or if some OS component was damaged. Thanks!

 

Code:

Set IE=CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Set Shell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
IE.Visible=1
Shell.AppActivate IE
If WScript.Arguments.Count>0 Then
IE.Navigate WScript.Arguments(0)
Else IE.GoHome()
End If
Shell.Run"taskkill /F /IM ielowutil.exe /T",0,False

Save this script as VBS (like "Internet Explorer.vbs") and thats it. Run it and enjoy. Not my work, I dont remember where I found it. So credit goes to unknown person.

 

or use internet explorer 11 mode on edge

 

I love this answer so simple yet so true...

 

How do I permanently enable the mode for a page? I have to enable it every 30 days. Thanks.
