Microsoft permanently disables Internet Explorer for all devices

I actually like Edge as a PDF viewer. It's the only reason I use Edge at all. It loads quickly, doesn't try to sell me things, and stays out of the way.

Sumatra seems like a nice tool. It can't possibly be worse than Adobe Reader.

I work with secure pdfs at work quite often, and yes Edge randlomy try to open pdfs. Sending me to reset the pdf handler to an external app or force a download and then open app, point to file, open.

under my breath...another worklfow broken grumblegrumble and time added when I did not need it grumblegrumble, how do I force a change/automate, more time lost grumblegrumble

I liked Windows 7 too but XP is something I will never forget. It literally felt like XP was decades ahead of 98SE when it came out. Loved it, even though I had to reinstall it weekly for neighbors and family members due to Blaster. The installation process is embedded in my brain along with FCKGW… :) What do you use XP for? And on what hardware? I’m envious now.
