    Done. How to download and run:

    1. Go to this page.
    2. Alt-click the Raw button (or Right-click and select Save link as...)
    3. Go to File Explorer and double-click the newly downloaded file.

    It worked!

    Thank you @LesFerch

    A couple of things though:

    1- I think you should also "FixURL(aFindReplacePair(1))", in the Replace section, so it could benifit from the fix.

    2- IP Addresses (example: http://192.168.0.55/) don't work, and not in the version before the latest fix either, so it's not the fix.

    3- Would it be possible to add a "Reset" method at the beginning? Maybe a "ClearList" binary? While testing yesterday on URLs that end in parameters, the settings in Edge wouldn't let me delete entries because they neither ended in a file name, nor a forward slash, and I had to edit the "Preferences" files manually each time to remove them.

    4- I think it would be better if you add a step in your instructions here before the "Go to File Explorer ... etc", to "Disable your PC's anti-malware, as it might delete the script/prevent it from running ... Do so at your own risk ... etc"

    5- I know it's an Edge thing, but links with parameters will not work in Edge IE mode. Your script adds them, but for Edge it doesn't not switch the webpage to IE mode. Users should trim it down to the ".something" that is using the parameters. That should work. It would be a nice piece of information in the commented instructioons section at the beginning of the script.

    Again, I can't thank you enough. This saves a lot of time for so many people. I just hope MS does not break the functionality, and render all this effort in vain ...

    Yes, I see the issue. Edge requires the first part of the URL to be lowercase, but subsequent parts can be mixed case. I'll modify the script to only force lowercase up to the first single backslash, instead of forcing lowercase for the entire URL. I'll post back here when that's been done.

    @LesFerch Thank you for the brilliant script.

    I wonder if adding could be case sensitive though? Oracle EBS insists on the Case of the Apps URL, but Edge treats Upper and Lower as different URLs in the IE Mode. When I use your script to add, Edge just ignores the entries as they are lower case.

    I worked around it by adding manually, then running the script to extend the expiry date. It would be a lot better if I can just run the script with the URLs pre-set in the AddSites variable though. Any way to do that?
