Thought I'd just share something I stumbled upon. I use IE8 out of preference, just what I want to use. My problem with IE8 was that in order to start up "inPrivate" you had to open up IE8, or have another shortcut dedicated for it, which was kinda annoying for me, I just wanted to have the option to right click on IE8, and hit what I wanted, and I somewhat found a way to do that. Yes I tried searching, but Google gave me nothing really. IE8 has to be the default Internet program for this to work. The registry keys I used were
Adjust as needed per system, I use 64-bit (not sure if this works on XP). Basically adds inprivate to the right click of the default internet program if IE8 is the default internet program set in Windows. This doesn't apply it to every IE8 shortcut, just to the default internet program shortcut for IE8, as in if you pin an IE8 shortcut to the start menu, you won't see this, but on "internet" it'll show for IE8 only (I think). So this should save a few clicks or keystrokes maybe. Just replace the shortcut in your quick launch (if you use it) with a shortcut of the default internet program in the start menu, or any other IE8 shortcuts you may use.Code:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\IEXPLORE.EXE\shell\InPrivate] @="Browse InPrivate" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\IEXPLORE.EXE\shell\InPrivate\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\" -private"
Hope some find this useful.![]()
