How to run original Internet Explorer on Windows 11?

It may not be a completely retro theme, but it lies in the same plane. Sometimes we are tormented by nostalgia and we want to use the Internet Explorer browser, and sometimes we just need it for specific purposes.

Even though Windows 11 prevents Internet Explorer from launching, even by manually launching the executable, the launch methods remain (but may disappear later, last checked on Windows 11 21H2 22000.795).

- Create a text file (for example, in notepad or notepad++) with the content:
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Navigate "oldhunter.su"
objIE.Visible = 1
- Change the file extension from ".txt" to ".vbs"
- Run the file. This will launch Internet Explorer, which will open the site specified in the second line of code.

In my test, this method worked fine, but sites using the https protocol do not open in it.

Happy using!
