Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with all patches
IE11 with all patches
I find it extremely confusing to have the tab headers above the menu bar. Is there anyway to move them back below the favorites bar where they appear to be attached to the tabs?
I have seen lots of posts but no answers.
I have Windows 8 Pro RTM installed from MSDN. I am running IE10 and I go to my Linksys router and get the usual certificate error. In all previous versions of IE, you could just click continue and move forward. IE10 does not all this, please let me know where this setting is so I can use IE10, I hope I am not forced to use Chrome. Also there is no option to run as IE9 for some reason.
Hi,
I have Windows 8.1 running IE 11. I have regular issues on 3 Windows 8.1 devices with IE11 not being able to load pages. The Microsoft.com page doesn't even load at times. I get a "This page cant be displayed" error or the page loads but most content is displayed as text only. If I load the exact same page using Firefox it will load up right away. Is there a compatibility setting or something that I need to set? I really don't want to have to use Firefox as my default browser.
IE Version 11.0.9600.16476

Hi
I just bought a new laptop with IE 11 running windows 8.1
When I go thru the wizard to import bookmarks, after I've selected the folder with my existing bookmarks (which I had saved to my desktop from my old laptop), I get a message that says "bookmark.htm file not found".
It seems absurd that this should be an issue considering my bookmarks came from an IE program previously. It is infuriating that these cannot simply be transferred and I cannot find any solutions on the web that don't require a degree in computer science to successfully accomplish what I need to do.
thanks in advance for your help
We are having an issue with Internet Explorer 10 affecting users on a number of our Windows 8 workstations. When a user visits a web site that uses the Local Storage feature of HTML5, the page is not displayed correctly. For example, if you visit this page:
You should see text in the grey boxes in the lower-right hand corner if everything is working. For the affected users, nothing is displayed. In addition, if you open the F12 Developer Tools and reload the page, the following error message is displayed: "SCRIPT5: Access is denied.". It appears the LocalStorage feature is broken for these users.
From the troubleshooting I've done so far, I've determined that this issue does not affect the Local Administrator account on these computers, but it does affect any domain user and any new local user I create, whether the local user is in the Administrators group or not. This leads me to believe the issue may be related to the default user profile in the image that was applied to these computers.
Other observations:
I've tried using Process Monitor to determine whether access is being blocked to a folder. On a working computer, iexplore.exe creates a file within a folder at C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStore. I can't see anything on an affected computer that would prevent IE from creating this folder, as the security settings on the folder all appear to be correct.
The location of this folder appears to be stored in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\LowCache\Extensible Cache\DOMStore. I've tried copying this key from a working computer and blanking it out entirely to have IE recreate it, but neither resolved the issue. I've even gone as far as to try and compare an export of the registry from the default user profile from a working system and an affected system but I haven't been able to pinpoint any differences which I thought might be relevant.
I've tried the "Internet Explorer Performance" and "Internet Explorer Safety" troubleshooters in the Control Panel.
Here are some links to articles on other sites which make reference to the same (or a similar) issue:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/ie10-script5-access-is-denied/e87bdb30-7f2a-4510-bfa3-a22b995f777b
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/357825-ie10-script5-access-is-denied
https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/1291
Unlike these other cases, deleting an affected user's profile does not resolve the issue (further bolstering my theory that the issue is due to an issue in the default profile in my case).
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide!
We have Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7 only in the company. We don't have Win2012 and Win8 yet.
I would like to configure proxy and bypass list to any IE10 installed on Windows 7.
I managed to configure it via IE10 group policy (User Configuration\Control Panel Settings\internet settings). However, I also notice, some of the settings are also pushed or restricted by GPO (eg: settings in security zone: internet zone, local intranet zone, trusted zone, restricted zone etc. ) This means, after customized some settings in security zone, as long as I restarted the IE, the settings went back to what GPO was configured.
I just want to set proxy and bypass list for users via GPO and the GPO applied to users whenever they connected to office network every morning. Other settings should leave it to the users and should not affected by GPO.
Anyway to set this?

The new Developer Tools on IE 11 is terrible.
Previously, we can clear session cookies for the current page or clear cookies for the whole domain (of the current page). My page is now showingwww.facebook.com and I am logged in to Facebook. I click the Network icon followed by the Clear cookies icon. Then I hit Enter in the Address box (note: not F5). Fiddler2 shows that IE 11 is submitting lots of facebook.com cookies (act, c_ser, csm, p, presence, s, xs).
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255004(v=vs.85).aspx"Clear cookies ensures that all cookies related to the current domain are removed, so that you get the experience of loading the page for the first time."
Are there any hidden configurations I must do to have Clear cookies to work?
Thanks.
PS: Chrome is so much more flexible. Not only can I clear cookies for the domain of the current page, but also any or all domains which the current page loads via script.I have a new desktop computer with Windows 7 Pro 64. Running IE 11. Having problems with internet access. I can get to my homepage, but going to other sites almost always yields "This page can't be displayed", or page will partially display, then crash.. "Fix connection problems" yields no information. Enhanced Protected Mode is not enabled. I have deleted browsing history. I disabled add-ons. I enabled "use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" - all with the same results. (This includes trying to use the MS support pages for IE 11).
I can access these pages from another computer in the house, so I know it's not internet provider or website issues. What else should I try?
Thank you!
Hey all...
I want to list IE addons on machine and enable a particular addon using vbscript or command-line. Please provide a solution.
I have IE9 on 64-bit Win7. I try very hard to keep junk from burdening my IE. Almost any software I install on my computer wants to add toolbars, and I always answer NO. Occasionally they don't ask permission, and I yank it out by the roots afterward. I wound up with various Google toolbars along the way that i can only deactivate but not remove completely.
Today I was cleaning out some junk with Task Manager, and came across GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe *32. I tried to End Process, and I got Access Denied, even though I am Administrator on my computer. Now that's evil!
How do I get rid of it? Even if I wanted it (which I defintely don't) I would want to remove it on general principles. How dare they intrude so deeply on my machine that their SW can't even be removed by the Administrator?
Thanks,
Jon Jacobs

Sometimes users on locked down PCs that need their IE settings reset to resolved issues such as improper/old cached credentials stored in the browser after a password change etc. These issues can be resolved by opening Internet Options, Advanced tab, Reset, Delete All, Reset.
The users cannot do this because the Advanced Tab is hidden by policy. If an administrator logs in with a different account, of course, anything they change is in their profile and not the user's profile.
Is there some way for an administrator user to log in and access Internet Control Panel settings for a different user's Internet Options so they can reset the browser for a limited user?
We need a more streamlined way to do this instead of needing to either blow away the user's entire Windows profile or else go through the convoluted process of getting the GPO admins to undo the group policy for one user to unhide the tab, have the help desk reset the browser for the user and then have the GPO admins reapply the original policy.
I recently installed a Samsung M2825 printer on my network. Now I'm unable to print to that printer from IE 11. I get the following error message:
"There was an internal error and Internet explorer is unable to print this document."
I can print to my other printers (HP Photosmart and HP LaserJet) but not to the Samsung. Furthermore, I can print to all three printers without difficulty from Firefox 26.0.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro SP 1, 32 Bit.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
Apologies if this is the incorrect place to post this question but its my first.
Recently we have upgraded some workstations to Windows 8 Pro OS with IE 10 and some using IE 11. A couple are running Windows 8.1.
We have a website that has a session timeout assigned of 5 minutes that has been working fine with workstations using XP/Vista/7 and IE versions 8-11.
When browsing from any of the Windows 8 workstations the session timeout is not applied, so even though the user has been inactive for more than 5 minutes the browser session is not refreshed and therefore the user is not required to login again which could pose a security risk in future once the site is live.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I have mapped a drive letter to files that I use daily.
If I use explorer or any application to open a file I have no issues other than when I disconnect from an internet cafe - then I sometimes no longer have access to the share drive and have to navigate from the root.
The bigger problem though is when I use IE 9 (same problem with earlier versions) and try to add files to email. Other programs run via IE have the same problem but this is a common example and easy to reproduce ---
Load IE 9, then go to Yahoo Mail, create a new mail and try to add a file to send the person. If you try to click on a mapped drive you will get a network access denied message.
This same task, on the same machine works fine with the other browsers - it is only IE that fails.
Any idea?

It's a real bad problem! The worst is what seems to be ignorance somehow.
This problem has been hanging around since autumn 2011 - that is at least since the public developer preview of Win8 was released.
It has almost created a Chrome user out of me. Not a regular one, but a forced Chrome user - since any web application using forms, i.e. netbanking, e-commerce, public services etc. In 8 of 10 sites - I have to use Chrome.
So today, I just open Chrome - because in IE ... well, if I use IE its like ... oh yeah, why did I bother to open that site in IE. Forms does not work?
I do not understand what it is with the compatibility views and why this can not go under the Hood. But if IE can not be made to work with forms - with all the e-gov coming up around the World. Then do not bother.
Forms has to work. Or IE is out of a job.
BTW A form that does work in IE is Google Search.
Had to write this post - because it is getting really anoying that this problem is not taken care of - and you can keep posting about this problem with forms not working across 80% of web sites ...
But may be it is just me (i.e. my user profile) ... or does IE have a problem with forms? Anybody else?
May be my user profile is just mixed up because of the previews? Anyway, that is speculation. The observations are ... problem with forms in IE is coming to a point where I can start saying "forms does not work in IE".
Just listen to - what that kind of statement would mean to the life of IE if not fixed? So go fix it.
I have been dealing with a serious virus for a couple weeks now that makes my computer run extremely slow. I ran several free antivirus and antimalware programs trying to fix my problem. This resulted in getting an error msg on start up that states "Windows Explorer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. After Explorer closes I have no desktop. Its a black and blank screen. I can still get to Explorer by using ctrl-alt-del however I no longer have a Start button or a Task Bar on my Explorer home page.
I have tried several online suggestions on retrieving the Stop button with no success. I'm sure the blank screen at start-up is a result of the virus but I have no clue on getting rid of the virus at this point.
Please help me out if you have any ideas...Thank you!!
