Control the IE Script Debugger

When Internet Explorer detects an error on a page it has the ability to launch a script debugger to diagnose the problem. If you have no use for the script debugger, you could use the ?yes? value below.



Navigate to:

HCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main




Create or modify the String Value called ?Disable Script Debugger? and set it to either ?yes? to disable the debugger or ?no? to enable it.

Just restart Internet Explorer for the change to take effect.

Specify or modify default download directory

As with many programs, you might want to specify a default download directory for Internet Explorer.



Navigate to:

HCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer


Here, create or modify the String Value called DownloadDirectory and set it to the full path name of the directory you want to set, for example, ?D:\Downloads?.

Restart or log off of Windows for the change to take effect.



Here HCU can be replaced by HCM if you want the effect to take place for all users
