Missing option "Open in Internet Explorer"

Question

In Edge Classic there was an option to open a website in Internet Explorer:&nbsp;Is there a way to enable such a menu item as well?

Hi stesch79, our hope is that users will stop needing Internet Explorer with the addition of IE Mode in Microsoft Edge.&nbsp; The problem is that once users start browsing in IE, they will tend to continue to use IE even when browsing sites that work best with modern browsers.&nbsp; Thanks - Elliot

ms4132&nbsp;No. Non-Enterprise can use IE (itself) that is in their OS; if they think they, REALLY, need it.&nbsp; Better is to let it go the way of the dodo bird.&nbsp; We will never get some people off of IE if keep making it (easily) accessible.&nbsp; Should take pre-10 Windows Operating Systems &amp; IE and put the whole lot in the same time capsule.Cheers,Drew

stesch79&nbsp;Have you tried the command line switch?&nbsp;https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Enterprise/IE-Mode-button-for-user/m-p/806031#M166

Klose_BW&nbsp;Thanks. This works, yes.But, I want to open the site really in MSIE - not in IE Mode. And I can't tell the users they should open Edge with that command, that's not a user friendly solution.

Elliot Kirk&nbsp;Based on this thought, it seems that IE Mode should be added for non-enterprise users of Edge Chromium as well to reduce the use of IE for further browsing.
