How to Extend IE mode more than 30 days

This is the fix we use. My hotels HAVE to use Edge for their cloud app. This tool saved the day when we "upgraded" from IE to Edge.

Don't think centrally manage unless we use Microsoft to log in

the edge profile is logged out

As mentioned i have Edge profiles

Tried to respond at github, don't know how so i can send preferences

To post on GitHub, you would need to create a GitHub account. That would be appreciated, but you can also paste a screenshot here. I'd like to see what is displayed when the script finishes. I can also test with your Preferences file, if you'd like to email that to me. You can find my email address in the WinSetView manual. I assume you're running the script unedited, but please confirm. Thanks.

I am an individual user, not part of an enterprise and would like to have clear way to fix this issue. I do not use profiles; I do not speak "System Admin".

I have a Network Video Recorder that requires to be run in Internet Explorer Mode. I am able to get there, but it will only stay that way for 30 days. I can always add that URL again, but that only buys me an additional 30 days. Is there a way to have that particular address "always" open in IE mode?

And if not, why not?

You have two options: 1) Use my IEModeExpiryFix script to set the expiry to 2099, 0r 2) Use a little launcher script that loads your Network Video Recorder directly into Internet Explorer.

Option 1:

To use the script, your Edge profile must NOT be synced. Click the little person icon at the top of the Edge window:

If you see a dialog like this, you're ready to run the script:

But if you see a dialog like this, the script will not work:

If you run Edge on more than one device and want your Edge data (e.g. bookmarks) synced across those devices, then I'd recommend leaving sync on and go to Option 2. But if you only run Edge on one device, then you can turn off sync (click the gear icon and then click the sign out button).

You can download the script from here: https://lesferch.github.io/IEModeExpiryFix/

Option 2:

Download the IEModeExpiryFix package (same link as above) and extract the file LaunchIE.vbs. Edit the file using a text editor, such as Notepad, and change the string "about:blank" to the URL of your Network Video Recorder. For example:

Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 

oIE.Visible = True 

oIE.Navigate "https://192.168.1.124"

Then, just double-click that script anytime you need to access your NVR. You can put the script anywhere and create a shortcut to it if you like.

Thank you! I do not use Edge on any other device, so I used option 1, and it worked perfectly.
