Disable Immersive Reader
Is there any way to outright disable immersive reader for a particular website? Preferrably via Group Policy and it has to be on a per-website basis. We have a web-based point of sale at work, we override the F9 key (and have done for the last 12yrs) to provide specific functionality, and on web pages where we have overridden the key it doesn't initiate the immersive reader. However if a person clicks in the address bar and then presses 'f9', it reloads the currently being viewed part of the point of sale into the immersive reader, which since moving from IE to Edge Chromium has been causing us a lot of problems as staff, etc... are confused about what they have done.30KViews2likes3CommentsRe: Remote Desktop Sessions same user multiple sessions
rayld We are still running Server 2008 R2 at present, so not a big issue for us right now, though we are looking at moving to Server 2019 within the next year I believe. I have a bodged up method working with Firefox, but I prefer the elegance of how IE11 does things. Would be nice if Edge could go the same way.13KViews0likes1CommentRe: Remote Desktop Sessions same user multiple sessions
They don't like dual monitors, but it's not just him, everyone in our admin has 2 or 3 thinclients each, and our stores have 5 thin clients each, all logged in with the appropriate username (in the case of our stores, 1 store will have all the thin clients logged in with the same username). I think this is what irks me the most, this set up works 100% with IE.13KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Remote Desktop Sessions same user multiple sessions
FreekBloemhof It looks interesting, i'm just not really understanding how it would work in this scenario? The boss for instance logs into the admin server using his username on 2 different thinclients on his desk, both have the same desktop, etc... (which must be maintained that way), he fires up IE on one, fires up IE on the other, has access to all his favourites on both, but IE sees them internally as 2 separate sessions. Neither Chrome or Firefox allow more than 1 instance to be running, so once 1 session has fired up the browser, the other session can't fire it up because the profile directory is locked, you can use trickery that they both provide to have 'profiles', but it means the bookmarks, etc... aren't shared between the 2 unless you sign into either a google or firefox account, which we don't use. How would we simulate what IE does with FSLogix?13KViews0likes5CommentsRemote Desktop Sessions same user multiple sessions
One area where IE really excelled was with terminal server sessions where the same user is logged in multiple times. IE natively handled this, if you logged into the same user multiple times, each user session could have IE open. Chrome, and Firefox don't support this natively, you have to try and trick them both using various means of profiles, etc... Will the new Edge support this? (I'm not entirely sure if the old Edge supported it, since we aren't using a version of Windows Server that comes with Edge). All our stores plus our admin people use thin-clients which remote desktop into a server (either a store server or an admin server), they log in using their username multiple times (so if the store has 5 thin clients, the manager logs the 5 thin clients into the store server using their username 5 times). With IE this is fine, it all just works. With Chrome / Firefox, we have to resort to custom launchers that allows the browser to open up multiple times under different sessions, but then that means bookmarks, etc... aren't saved across each one. Would be really nice if the new Edge supports multiple user-sessions the same way IE currently does.14KViews1like7Comments
