Classic IE</span>
|
|
is a
|
|
small plugin for Internet Explorer that:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Adds a caption to the title
|
|
bar so you can see the full title of a page</li>
|
|
<li>Shows the security zone in the status bar</li>
|
|
<li>Shows the loading progress in the status bar</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
See the full page title even when it doesn't fit in the tab:<br>
|
|
<img style="width: 561px;" alt="" src="images/ie9_caption.png"><br>
|
|
<br>See the progress and the security zone:<br>
|
|
<img style="width: 322px;" alt="" src="images/ie9_status.png"><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h1><a name="install"></a>Installation</h1>
|
|
When you run Internet Explorer for the first time after installing
|
|
Classic IE, it may prompt you that a new add-on called ClassicIEBHO is
|
|
installed and if you want to enable it. Click on the Enable button. If
|
|
you don't get a prompt, go to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools -> Manage add-ons</span> and make sure ClassicIEBHO is enabled. After enabling the add-on, you have to restart Internet Explorer to activate the plugin.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h1><a name="settings"></a>Settings</h1>
|
|
You can access the settings from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools -> Classic IE Settings</span>
|
|
or from the Start menu. The settings control the color and the font of
|
|
the caption, and what information to display on the status bar.<br>
|
|
<img style="width: 512px;" alt="" src="images/ie9_settings.png"><br>
|
|
<br>You can choose from seeing only the basic settings, or all
|
|
available settings. Hover over each setting to see a description of
|
|
what it's for. Type in the search box to find a setting by name.<br>
|
|
Every setting has a default value. The default value can be constant,
|
|
or it may depend on the current system settings. Once you edit a
|
|
setting it becomes "modified" and is shown in bold. To revert to the
|
|
default value, right-click on the setting.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
You can save the settings to an XML file, and later load them back.
|
|
Press the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Backup</span> button to access these functions. From there you can
|
|
also reset all settings to their default value.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Press OK to store your settings. You need to restart Internet Explorer to apply the new settings.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<h1><a name="admin"></a>Administrative Settings</h1>
|
|
The settings are
|
|
per user and are stored in the registry. By default every user can edit
|
|
all of their settings. An administrator can lock specific settings, so
|
|
no user can edit them. This is achieved by adding the setting to the <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenShell\ClassicIE</span> registry key.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You may also wish to not lock the setting but only override its initial
|
|
value. Do this by adding "_Default" to the name of the registry value.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The easiest way to know the registry name of a setting and its value is to modify it, and then look it up in <span style="font-weight: bold;">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenShell\ClassicIE\Settings</span>.<br>
|
|
|
|
Sometimes you may want to lock a setting to its default value, but you
|
|
don't know what the default value is. Do this by creating a DWORD value and setting
|
|
it to 0xDEFA.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
There is also a global setting <span style="font-weight: bold;">EnableSettings</span>. Set it to 0 in the
|
|
registry to prevent the users from opening the Settings dialog:<br>
|
|
|
|
<img style="width: 492px;" alt="" src="images/settings_disable_ie9.png"><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Editing the settings through group policies is also supported. Extract the file <b>PolicyDefinitions.zip</b> found in the installation folder and read the document <b>PolicyDefinitions.rtf</b> for more details.<br>
