Windows 10 came bundled with a nifty new browser called Edge. Although it looks a little like Internet Explorer, it’s a huge improvement over the browser everyone loved to hate. That said, Windows 10 also came with Internet Explorer, mostly for legacy use.

If you’d like to disable it, here’s how.

1. Right click the Start icon and select Control Panel.

2. Click Programs.

Is it possible to open up PDF files automatically (without prompt to open/save) from Internet Explorer 11 in Adobe Reader? ( self.techsupport ) submitted 4 years ago by CorsoKO. Is there any other way to disable the prompt while opening pdf in IE11. Windows Explorer file type association had been changed to use IE as the default program.

3. Choose Programs & Features.

File download outcomes can also be affected by IE's security zone settings. Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click 'Reset all zones to default'.

4. In the left sidebar, select Turn Windows features on or off.

5. Uncheck the box next to Internet Explorer 11.

6. Select Yes from the pop-up dialogue.

7. Press OK.

I was able to disable file download popup in all popular browsers except Internet Explorer.

This is the popup:

I thought this would do it, but I still get the popup:

Internet Explorer -> menu Tools ->Internet Options ->Security -> select zone (example: Internet) ->Security levels for this zone -> Custom level... ->Downloads ->File download ->Automatic prompting for file downloads -> Disable ->OK ->Yes ->OK.

I am not interested in automating the popup, I do not want it to appear.

The OS is Windows Server 2003, Internet Explorer 8.

I believe this SU question might be similar to yours

You can use the addon iMacros. From the original question's answer:

... Internet explorer automatically downloads the file into a directory I choose without asking?

You can use the free iMacros for Internet Explorer addon. It supports download automation via >the ONDOWNLOAD command (just record the download sequence, then replay it via iMacros. It is a >macro recorder for the web browser.

Go to Start->Run->gpedit.msc

Double-click the “Turn off the Security Settings Check Feature” entry and choose “Enable

Explanation: This policy setting turns off the Security Settings Check feature, which checks Internet Explorer security settings to determine when the settings put Internet Explorer at risk. ( NOTE: this means that the annoying bar will not pop up) NO MORE ANNOYING INFORMATION BAR!!! If you enable this policy setting, the security settings check will not be performed. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the security settings check will be performed.

Reghack if you don't want to do it via gpedit

Open regedit (Start > Run > regedit )- Navigate to HKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSecurity

  • If those key don't exist, you'll probably have to create them. They are case-sensitive.

  • Create the following DWORD (case sensitive) DisableSecuritySettingsCheck

  • Give this DWORD the value: 1
