How to Extend IE mode more than 30 days

You're welcome. The 30 day limit is an annoying design, but it's not a bug. It's working exactly as Microsoft intended. They are trying to protect the end-user from sites that could take advantage of IE security holes, at the expense of users with products that still depend on IE. I wouldn't be surprised if it has to do with Microsoft protecting themselves from litigation. It is what it is and we find workarounds. ;)

Thank You!! I have a security camera add-in that requires IE mode. I assume it will require it forever. I was shocked to see the hard-coded 30-day expiration date. Who asked for that? Thank you Les Ferch for this correction to yet another dumb Microsoft bug.

Cool. Thanks for pointing out where I messed up. :)

I'll make the appropriate edits when I get a chance.

I still have some old shortcuts for opening specific sites in IE that were made by dragging the icon of the site that appears to the left of the URL in IE's address bar to the desktop. They all still work as intended, but I suppose it is only a matter of time before that loophole is closed off.

Edit: Amazing how things work when you follow directions precisely! I read the entire thread including where you and others reminded people to uncomment the line that needed to be edited... /facepalm

Nothing new there. That's the standard statement that has been misunderstood/misinterpreted a million times over on the Internet. It just means that you can no longer set IE as your default browser and running iexplore.exe in the usual ways (such as double-clicking) will redirect you to Edge. The fact is, IE remains installed in order to provide IE Mode. That's how IE Mode works. It runs IE in the background. You will see iexplore.exe in the task list when you have a page open in IE Mode. If you kill that task, you will kill the page. This has nothing to do with Enterprise Mode. If you have computers in Active Directory, you can use Enterprise Mode to set up a centralized list of URLs that open in IE Mode.

...in one it shows that the script is not adding new URLs to the list.

The instructions in the script state: "To add pages, copy, uncomment and edit the AddPages line below"

You went way below that and edited the aAddPages array variable which was not commented out (that should have been a clue). Please download a fresh copy and edit the commented out AddPages variable, as per the instructions, and it should work fine.

You definitely only need to add "https://internal.good2go.com/"  to the IE Mode pages list. As long as you see the little IE logo show up to the left of the URL, you're good, as I explained in my previous message.

Well, that was predictably annoying. I decided to video capture the IE mode not loading automatically and well... now it does. I did take two video captures that I can share with you, in one it shows that the script is not adding new URLs to the list. For me this is not a big deal.

The second is my attempt to show that Edge was not switching to IE Mode on its own for pages added to the list. Even though it is working, I'll include it for completeness. If it happens again (and I can actually reproduce it this time), I will let you know. Thanks!

Oh one question, I saw earlier in this thread some people suggested using Enterprise Mode for AD users. Is this still able to be used after the Edge update is installed? The warnings on the Microsoft sites describing how to setup Enterprise Mode seem to suggest that it may not work anymore.

I'll take down that link to the videos after a couple of days.
