My company is a little outdated and IE8 is the only compatible browser that I can use for my job. I just had to get a new computer and it has windows 8. I know if I open up IE10 and press F12 I can then change the browser mode from IE10 to IE8, but I have to do that for every window. Is there a way to change it to where it defaults to IE8 mode?
Just to be clear what I am basically saying is I have to user internet explorer for my job, there is no alternative. I am also saying that if the browser is not IE 8 or in IE 8 mode, it won't work at all. I am trying to find a way where I don't have to manually change it to IE 8 mode everytime I open a new tab or window on Internet Explorer.

P.S. I have seen this kind of question asked before and seen this answer:
Hi,
there is Quirks, Near Standards and Standards modes.... the Document and Browser modes are for testing purposes...visitors to your sites should not have to consider what browser or version they are using... code to standards and offer fallbacks for browser versions that don't support the features of your website.
for any web page validate you web pages with a valid document type and correct the errors to allow the web browser to parse and render the document in 'Standards' mode.... Different IE version are capable of (have been programmed for) different releases (versions) of (x)html. IE8 and higher are capable of displaying validated in Standards mode... IE8, IE9 and IE10 have different error corrections and symbol tables and various levels of implementation of the css2 and 3 specs. (see w3c.org)
I have absolutely no idea what any of that means, and it doesn't seem to be answering my question. Just wanted to clarify that this answer would not help me, or that I don't understand it.
