Remove periodic updates in active mode

[MarcGuiselin]

Active mode requires periodic updates (see #221) of the msedge_no_ifeo.exe file which is a copy of the edge executable msedge.exe. The purpose of msedge_no_ifeo.exe is simply to allow running edge at all, since IFEO redirects execution of msedge.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:

1. Create a junction directory that links to the edge installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\
2. Set an IFEO FilterFullPath value in the registry to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe
3. Executing msedge.exe by means of the path created by the junction point will not trigger IFEO, since the path does not match FilterFullPath

I've implemented the same technique in Wedge for an upcoming release of Chrometana Pro and it works flawlessly.

• 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.
