For over 10 minutes I did not believe this was going anywhere (figuring visibility was never the issue, it being terminated right after startup was). Glad I stuck around, thanks a lot. This allows me to keep my camera's accessible.

Thank you! CCTV software really needs to get with the times. In the meantime, this video is what we need!!!
I am glad this will fill the gap, I agree they do need to update these CCTV systems.
Saved the day (and the night) for me! Thanks. Latest MS Windows update finally had taken out IE entirely and replaced it with MS Edge.
This worked!!
The latest Super Patch Tuesday this morning, 10-10-2023, disabled IE starting up entirely from it's shortcut. I used to go to the x86 directory and retype the BHO directory name to: (BLOCK) BHO (EXT) but they changed that method it seems. This works! Just put the shortcut on the desktop or wherever, change to the usual IE icon to make it look nice, and you're done! Perfect!!
IE is the only browser I've found that saves webpages properly and you can save in the .mht single file format which comes up perfectly later on.

Actually you can change the home page. First enable the command bar by right clicking the top of the Internet Explorer window. Then go to the website that you want to set as the home page. Finally click the arrow to the right of the house icon, click "Add or change home page", select the first option and click ok.
Thanks for the tip!
All other instructions to get IE working again failed. This worked like a charm!!!! Thank you so much!

This is ridiculously simple, nobody else (apparently) has figured it out, and it works! Thank you.
Question: How can we protect this solution and the pertinent files from some future Microsoft exploit to kill/remove IE entirely? Change Ownership to User or somehow make the files immutable (a la "chattr +i" in Linux)? ZIP up the IE file structure for future restoration?
I am glad you liked this, I am not sure if it can be retained for the future, but I am sure it will be there for a while yet, if it does get removed then it may be possible someone will come up with a portable version of IE.
thank you. this is exactly what i was looking for. 🙏

Great walkthrough.
Any idea on how to STOP certain software links from opening quickly on Internet Explorer, and then the browser quickly closes the IE page, and re-opens it on Microsoft Edge? (The software then error messages that "the web browser (IE) has been closed before the completion of the process.")
Note that this is older software, so any technical support from them is unreachable (the webpage MUST be opened and data downloaded on IE).
I am afraid I am not sure about links, but if anyone else reading this knows the answer then please feel free to comment, if I find the answer I will do a video on it, don't forget to subscribe to my channel to get notified if and when I release the video.
Thank you. I can now access my 3 CCTV camera software and setting again.

"They just hid it". Me as MS Windows nerd: brings back memories of Windows ME and MS-Dos :D. Really a reccuring theme hiding things on windows.
Yes MS do like to just hide things rather than get rid of them.
Wow, it worked! Thanks! First I thought it was a joke. I mean how many times did you explain that the right mouse button is on the right... :-)
Thank you for helping me get Internet Explorer because my mom has a work computer and she can only use Internet Explorer if then when Microsoft deleted it I needed a help her thank you for this video
I am glad this helped you and your Mum.
Fuck this video is the literal definition of getting every last word in the essay.
What makes you say that, compared to many other videos I thought I got to the point pretty quickly.
@@cwtek1 You took 10 minutes to explain how to open notepad, type a 5 word text, save it, then create a shortcut of it so you can change the icon.
@@DangerZONEpixel I am sorry but I have to be clear and precise on some videos otherwise if I skip parts out or move too quickly I get many messages telling me that I went to fast and many viewers found it hard to follow. This video is helping many people of different technical abilities, I am never going to please everyone.
@@cwtek1 well thank you because your video helped me. But I add will if you need to be so precise and in such detail for people to understand, I think those people shouldn't be messing around in the tech world and should just use tech as it comes.
Thanks chris wait, it helped me a lot, thanks again, it helped me to run digital signature in govt tender site
I am glad to hear this helped, but on the other hand concerned that a government tender site still needs a browser that is no longer supported!

Thanks, There are a couple of sites I need at work that will only run on IE. You would think a major electronics company that makes TV's and Appliances would update their web portal. Thanks again...
I am glad to help, its a shame these companies are not updating their systems to run with newer browsers, a company I work for got a new CCTV system last week, which needs Internet Explorer to view the camera's, Internet Explorer is no longer supported!.

Well as of October11 2023 that does not work a code pops up it says Windows script host the code that it gives is 800A000D that's about it so it does not work
I am sorry to hear that I did try it yesterday on a PC and it still worked for me.
Thanks so much for this. I kept trying to use IE because Mofi router wanrns me not to use Chrome based browsers to apply config changes and stupid Edge kept pissing me off and closing my IE window. Thanks again.
I am glad this helped.
Took a year 2 see this video brilliant
Thanks for everything, nothing else actually let it even open. Internet Explorer 11 is still on my start menu but when I click on it, it does nothing. Didn't know you had to do an obscure command through a vbs script to even get it to open. You were even in-depth for showing even the smallest steps to navigate Windows, I'm fluent in using it I guess and so it was a bit extra for me to hear, but for others, especially that maybe don't know much about navigating computers, I bet for sure helps them, thanks for being that way. Don't know why Microsoft did it like this, it did open before. But now, it's just a COMPLETE mess. I'm glad it's still in 11 and 10 but, now it just makes it more of a mess not being able to open it and with it just being there, with a hundred other legacy programs that probably adds more storage that no one sees. Thanks for helping me get IE to even open again
Glad to help!

Thank you so much for this wonderful lil bit of code, I was so fed up with Microsoft attempting to force people to use edge especially since I still use IE but I only use it so I can align all of my other windows to it. that probably sounds off, but I am very particular about how I want my windows to be.

bro is explaining it like we are all 90 years old and have never used a computer before 💀
Yes that's right, everyone watching is at a different skill level.
Unfortunately, this did not work on win10 for me. Microsoft just do not allow to create the Internet Explorer application.
I am sorry to hear that I hope you find a way to get around this problem.

Unfortunately, the start page does not load automatically.
Can you fix the problem? So that the start page loads automatically?
Unfortunately at the moment it does not seem possible to automatically load a start page at present, it will load a blank page you must then type the address you want to go to in the address bar at the top of the screen.

Thank you it’s most appreciated.
sadly this seems to no longer work. the second i try to open anything in IE, it opens it in Edge instead.
Please try again, I used this last week on Windows 11 and it still worked for me!

Hi! Will I be able to use the Microsoft Works app again after reinstalling Windows Explorer?
I am not sure, works is not officially supported, but Libre Office can open Works Documents!
@@cwtek1 Thank you for the reply. I have the disc to install Works and when in gets to a certain part of the install it won't go any further because Works cannot be updated as part of the process. So, if IE is running I am hoping the program will get past this part of the installation process. Fingers crossed! 😊
Thank you very much for this. however when i create InternetExplorer.vbs file and create a shortcut I am getting a VBScript Runtime error. Any help will be appreciated please
It could be that you have mistyped something please triple check you have typed the command exactly the same and that there are no spaces at the beginning or end of what you have typed.
@@cwtek1 Thank you very much for your advice. I am almost sure it's correct. But will check to confirm. Thank you once again
Now if we could just learn how to Uninstall Microsoft Edge. Edge is using learning to over time intercepts my I.E. links and so I actually have to type in the website URL that I want to visit. We'll see how long it takes for Edge to start intercepting stuff that I type in...😢
Thanks so much i spent hour searching for one that was not dowload and virus
I am glad this helped!
IE would not launch for me - keep getting an error box.
I am sorry to hear that I am not sure how to repair that, please let us know the exact error message you are getting and I may be able to help.
@@cwtek1 It says Windows Script Host
Script: C:\Users\Owner\Documents\InternetExplorer.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 14
Error: Syntax error
Code: 800A03EA
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error
@@LiliGogo619 same thing here
Hi sir I tried to save the command as per your instructions but when saving the file type All files with adding (*.*). The (*.*) i can not add any way. The file name InternetExplorer.vbs can be written but Save file type i can not add the (*.*) to All Files. please guide me how i to do the above command. Thank you
You could try downloading and installing notepad+++ and see if that allows you to save as a .vbs file
The file can be saved as .vbs but when trying to add (*.*) there is no option . So my question is how to add (*.*) with Save as type [All Files (*.*) ] .
Thanks for your reply.
@@muhammadsubhan5763 if that option isn’t there in notepad, then there is a problem with your copy of notepad so therefore that’s why I’m suggesting you use notepad+++ instead of the normal notepad.
There was actually exploit to remove edge executable and it would work. This is what I figured out by myself. But seems they fixed it. But yes - this really works and the filename can be whatever you like. Explanation is really so long for a 20 second actual real life work thou.
Probably not a good idea to remove edge executable as you might need it at some point. I am glad this video helped you!
@@cwtek1 Well, it just renamed it. Not really removed, but windows repairs it in around one week, so it's not "permanent damage". Also not permanent fix. Probably part of windows update is to verify windows files and it puts the edge executable back. And i did not see any problems on using windows market or other menus so it seems it kinda one of those lies to force edge saying edge is essential component of windows.
Would be a nice if an Internet Explorer revival was created
I mean Msn Messenger/Windows Live Messenger was revived so I don’t see a reason why Internet Explorer would be any harder
Hopefully one day someone will, do this!
@@cwtek1 maybe Escargot could do it possibly….but they have been very quiet and dormant recently so I guess that would be a no go for now.
But I would like to get the aero version of Internet Explorer 11 (Internet Explorer 9) or even Internet Explorer 8
Thanks u. Me salvaste.
Happy to help
I just wish IE had actually continued and many websites never discontinued support for it.
You can still go to the websites that still work with IE using this method!
@@cwtek1 What are some examples??
@@BALtimore2001I am not sure you said that many websites never discontinued support for IE, so try those websites.
THANK U
You're welcome!
Its work but the pages need open with java cannot open and i already instaled java on my pc.. so i dont know what to do in that case.
I must admit I haven't tried with Java yet, make sure you have downloaded Version 8 Update 361 www.java.com/en/download/windows_offline.jsp you can get it from here.
@@cwtek1 yo! i find the solution jjejej thanks.
I AM really having big time trouble to understand this whole thing why did THEY said that the microsoft windows internet explorer no longer supported and now that YALL still can use this web browser?
They don't want you to carry on using it because there is no one writing updates for Internet Explorer anymore, so it might not be compatible with many websites that use the latest technology and there is no modern day security attached to the browser!
Great video. For critics - use fastforward option, you've claimed you can use computer. ;p
Thank you very much. But if you have spoken it will be easier. thanks
I thought I did both.
I got the icon back and can launch ie but it still instantly closes and opens Edge
Did you follow the instructions in this guide?
@@cwtek1 I did, and it worked in a way; it allowed me to have the icon, and it allows the program to launch. But it nearly instantly closes iE and opens Edge.
Muito bom, resolveu meu problema !
I am glad this solved your problem!
😭😭😭😭 it's not finding IE. I think I uninstalled it by accident a few months ago! Anyway to REdownload it? I'm running Windows10 Pro! PLEASE HELPPPPP... My Outlook emails don't show ANY images without IE working... it is HORRIBLE!
If you are running windows 10 you can reinstall IE11 by going to Control Panel, then Programs and Features then click on Turn Windows Features on or off, then put a tick next to Internet Explorer 11 and follow any instructions on screen!

Edge continues to steal any URL I put in my newly spawned IE window. Thanks for trying.
I am sorry to hear that, perhaps try turning off all extensions in IE, click the cog (Top Right) then Manage Addons, make sure you turn off all addons if you can.
MS Edge is crap compared to IE
I wish they had updated IE and kept it current.
This does not work anymore. Oct 2023 zapped IE completely 😞
I tried it the other day on a computer and it still seems to work.

Still Works as of today 26march2024
Not working for me on windows 11
when i click home it brings me to microsoft edge
thanks mate, means I can get a bit more time out of my cctv systems.
