- Create a junction directory that links to the edge installation folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\
I was wondering what they were doing with those junctions.
I'll get that implemented this evening as well as Wedge added to the wiki of Alternatives.
Active mode requires periodic updates (see #221) of the
msedge_no_ifeo.exe
file which is a copy of the edge executablemsedge.exe
. The purpose ofmsedge_no_ifeo.exe
is simply to allow running edge at all, since IFEO redirects execution ofmsedge.exe
to MSEdgeRedirect as a debugger.However, this is unnecessary as there is a clever way to execute
msedge.exe
without the call being blocked by IFEO at all, discovered by HarshalKudale:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\
FilterFullPath
value in the registry toC:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe
msedge.exe
by means of the path created by the junction point will not trigger IFEO, since the path does not matchFilterFullPath
I've implemented the same technique in Wedge for an upcoming release of Chrometana Pro and it works flawlessly.
