How to Extend IE mode more than 30 days

Thank you. I will test it and update you with the results.

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 ...

Thank you for the thorough testing and excellent suggestions.

Regarding (3), you can use the FindReplace feature to correct bad entries, rather than manually editing the Preferences file. Or, now, you can just go back to a previous Preferences file because I've added an automatic backup feature.

I've also implemented all of your suggestions except for (1) because the FindReplace will work on any substring and not just whole URLs.

Please test the new version and let me know the results. Be sure to test URLs with IP addresses. Thanks.

Hello Mr.LesFerch,

First of all, Thank you for your solution. I did make it work when my system locale is set to United states.

However, it pops out this error message when the locale is set to my current location, Taiwan.

Is there any fix for this? I'll just switch the locale to US if there isn't any anyway. Grateful for the script.

I've poked around the script like changing the locale to zh-tw, no luck.

Again, thank you very much for your solution. Have a great day master.
