How to Extend IE mode more than 30 days

With the latest version of the script (1.1.2) the pages should be adding successfully via the script. Please confirm.

I added https://internal.good2go.com/is/root/ via the script and then started up Edge and tried that page. It opened up in IE Mode for me. However, that page redirected me to https://internal.good2go.com/is/root/logon/index.cfm. It's still stayed in IE Mode, but did not show that toggle switch on because that specific page is not in the IE Mode list. As long as you see the IE icon to the left of the URL, that switch can be ignored.

If you like, you can add multiple pages from one site to the IE Mode list, although, usually you only have to add the parent URL. But, try adding all three of these pages:

https://internal.good2go.com

https://internal.good2go.com/is/root/

https://internal.good2go.com/is/root/logon/index.cfm

Edit: In my testing you only need to add "https://internal.good2go.com/" and all pages that open under that will be in IE Mode (IE icon will be shown to the left of the address bar). That IE Mode slider switch will be off for all child pages because that only indicates that the specific page is in the IE Mode list. It's admittedly a bit of a confusing interface.

I experienced a situation where I had the sites in my IE Tab list, ran your script to extend the dates (successfully), removed them from the list, and then tried to add them via your script and they were not put in. That was earlier today. The version I used was downloaded at 11:00AM EST today.

I just downloaded a new copy (2:00PM EST today) and it looks like the previous version I used. The tab can be reloaded in IE Mode, however, it is not starting out in IE Mode.

I'm looking for this option to be set automatically so people don't have to worry about toggling that button.

The script already sets "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)" to Allow:

I just double-checked and found that, even for a site that was previously opened, once added and/or updated by the script, it will load in IE Mode, as long as the page is not coded to prevent that. For example, cnn.com will not load in IE Mode.

P.S. In testing, I found a bug (in the VBS version of the script) where the script wasn't updating and/or adding a URL that existed elsewhere in the Preferences file. That has now been fixed. Perhaps you encountered this bug. Please download a fresh copy and test again. Thanks.

Is there an easy way to auto set the listed sites to use the "Open this page in Internet Explorer mode next time" switch? Perhaps the compatibility one as well for those who may need it?

I KNOW many of our users will complain that things didn't work because they fail to verify the state of the Open in IE Mode button now...

Using VBS script, was failing with 'Edge profile sign-in detected. Profile cannot be updated."

But was not signed-in. So, commented out the check for signed-in, and then it worked.

You shouldn't have needed to modify the script. The correct procedure would be to open Edge, sign out (or sign in, sign out) and then close Edge.

What probably happened is that you were signed in and then signed out without closing Edge. The Edge Preferences file does not get updated until you close Edge. So, when the script ran, it killed the msedge.exe processes, leaving the Preferences file as it was (i.e. signed in) and therefore detected a sign-in. If you were to open Edge again at that point, you would see that Edge is back to signed-in because the Preferences file didn't get updated to signed-out.

If you were never signed-in to Edge, then this is an issue I've never seen. I don't think that's possible.
