It is possible to deactivate the InternetExplorer Silverlight Add-On with PowerShell?

Question

Hello, it is possible to deactivate the InternetExplorer Silverlight Add-On?

Later I want to open the Internet Explorer with the Powershell command:

• $ie = New-Object -ComObject InternetExplorer.Application

Answer 1

You could start IE in no-addons mode. There is a command line switch for this, I think. Check out what the link in Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools does.

You can remove Silverlight's COM registration from the registry. Then IE won't be able to instantiate it.

There may be other solutions.
