Jun 07, 2021Marcello_L2355 To clarify, is the program that needs Internet Explorer used only internally within your organization? If so, have you tried following the instructions to set up IE mode for your managed computers?
Or is the program being accessed by end users using consumer devices and you are trying to load it for them in IE mode automatically?
I'm not sure if it is possible to launch MS Edge and force a website to open in IE mode using just a command line but if you can provide more information about your scenario, I can check with the team. Thanks!

Kelly_Y I think they are looking for a way to tell Edge to open a shortcut or favorite in IE mode. I know that's why I'm here. I know I can click the shortcut, ALT-F, More Tools, Reload in Internet Explorer, but that's 4 clicks. Even a group policy or registry setting for that specific URL would be helpful. Whatever you can provide that reduces the number of clicks.
Personally, I'm using an old WebComponent plug-in for my surveillance cameras that only works in IE mode. I know this legacy stuff will only work for so long, so I appreciate the IE mode, just want to get to it easier.
Thanks!

Marcello_L2355 AtomicInternet Hello! Just to follow up, in MS Edge v92 there is a new policy that might help with IE mode. Please see our documentation for the InternetExplorerIntegrationReloadInIEModeAllowed policy: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#internetexplorerintegrationreloadiniemodeallowed
Thanks!

AtomicInternet Hello! Yes, you are correct. Currently if you are on a personal device those are the steps to load a site in IE mode (Internet Explorer mode in Microsoft Edge - Office Support).
There has been similar conversations on answers.microsoft.com for users with Windows 10 Pro to set up IE mode on their machine using policy. It is quite a long conversation but if you want to take a look here is a link to the thread: How do I force all sites I need in IE mode to open without the extra - Microsoft Community Thanks!
