Internet Explorer : Enabled via VBS Script File

 As of 17-Oct-2023, latest Windows 10 update have yet again forced Internet Explorer (IE) to redirect and open via Edge browser.

No idea why Microsoft kept on forcing users to use Edge, and their "IE Mode" is sluggish and not compatible with local web server (which only works best in IE11). Edge browser is totally rubbish to our intranet application.

"Microsoft you cannot force user to Edge nor expect us to re-write the entire application to Edge compatible, as this will incurred lots of money, time and resources."

I do hope Microsoft see my message...

Workaround for the time being :-

1. Open --> Notepad

2. Type --> CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true

3. Save file as --> IE.vbs

4. Create a desktop shortcut.

5. Change the icon to "IE" icon.

6. End.

Disadvantage Note : You cannot save any "Favorites" link inside IE, doing so will only automatically open the link in Edge browser.

!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
