I wanted to try Windows 11. Using Enterprise 64-bit.

I used MSMG to remove Edge from the wim before install.

 

I can never run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". Even from cmd with a html file as argument. I get a popup "Unable to launch Edge ...".

 

I was surprised when I ran Regshot 2.0.1.70 unicode x64 and the compare file was opened in IE.

 

Any idea how this is done?

 

Note : there is no Edge so no setting for compatibility mode etc.

You can use IE11 on Windows 11

 

Copy Files from Preview 21382

%windir%\SystemResources\ieframe.dll.mun -> Program Files (x86)\SystemResources\ieframe.dll.mun

%windir%\SystemResources\ieframe.dll.mun -> Program Files\SystemResources\ieframe.dll.mun

%windir%\System32\ieframe.dll -> Program Files\Internet Explorer\ieframe.dll (from WIndows x64)

%windir%\System32\en-US\ieframe.dll.mui -> Program Files\Internet Explorer\en-US\ieframe.dll.mui (from WIndows x64)

%windir%\System32\ieframe.dll -> Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\ieframe.dll (from WIndows x86)

%windir%\System32\en-US\ieframe.dll.mui -> Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\en-US\ieframe.dll.mui (from WIndows x86)

The folder Internet Explorer and files in it exist in both Program Files and Program Files (x86).

 

IE is fully functional, that's why Regshot can open html files in IE.

 

What I want to know is how to open html files in IE. As I mentioned in the OP, in Win11 IE does not run from FileExplorer or cmd line,

 

I realise not many people use/want IE these days. Just curious.

I don't know if this helps : long ago I remember someone mentioning that even though he had changed the default browser (to Firefox I think), Regshot still opened the compare html file in IE.

 

----------------------------------------

 

Looks like Belogorokhov Yury Pavlovich / Belogorokhov Youri (HANDLE), the developer of Regshot2, predicted 11 years ago that MS would try and force us to use another browser (EDGE), LOL.

 

Wish he makes the source available, VC++ 8.0 I think.

I don't know why he want IE11 (It seem needs to change 'default browser' setting)

 

but you can directly run it after file copied

I don't use 11 but you should try same as in 10, open Config  >>> Apps >>> Default Apps, here first select IE as main Browser, latter open Apps by type of file find .html and select IE there too, if not preselected, see attached photos.

Hi, MS doesn't allow that in 11.

That's why I'm so intrigued by Regshot2.

 

DarknessAngel, I don't want to use IE. I want to know how, after all that MS has done to prevent it, Regshot can still open files in IE.

I think you not chaged default browser

 

Manually changing default browser on WIndows 11 is not easy (You need to change, all protochol, extension)
