Hello,
I write a script for automated tests. I want that the IE runs without add-ons. It would be OK if set this after the start of it, but it is important that I can work with the IE. (I must can to grab it for my testing).
I want start IE with following powershell-script:
$ie = new-object -comobject InternetExplorer.Application -property @{navigate2=$testURL; visible = $true}
Currently I use a not so good/clean alternative. I open an empty IE and create an empty com-object ... see by oneself:
$a = Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion -name ProgramFilesDir
$b = $a.ProgramFilesDir + "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
& $b about:blank -extoff #start IE without extensions
$app = new-object -com shell.application #create empty comobject
Start-Sleep 2
$ie = $app.windows() | where {$_.Type -eq "HTML-Dokument" -and $_.LocationURL -match "about:blank"}
#$app allocate to $ie
How can I deactivate the add-ons on this line: $ie = new-object -comobject InternetExplorer.Application ... , or there are other alternatives for my purposes?
thanks
