Internet Explorer settings in the registry. Internet Explorer cannot display the web page - Contour.Extern Can display the web page

Why does it happen that some sites open on the computer, while others do not? Moreover, the same site can open in Opera, but in Internet Explorer the attempt will be unsuccessful.

Mostly, such problems arise with sites that operate using the HTTPS protocol. Today we will talk about why Internet Explorer does not open such sites.

Correctly setting the time and date on your computer

The fact is that the HTTPS protocol is secure, and if you have the wrong time or date set in your settings, then in most cases you will not be able to access such a site. By the way, one of the reasons for this problem is a dead battery on the motherboard of a computer or laptop. The only solution in this case is to replace it. The rest is much easier to fix.

You can change the date and time in the lower right corner of the desktop, under the clock.

Reboot devices

If everything is fine with the date, then we try to reboot the computer and router one by one. If this does not help, connect the Internet cable directly to the computer. This way you can understand in which area to look for the problem.

Checking site availability

We try to access the site through other browsers and if everything is in order, then go to the Internet Explorer settings.

Let's go to "Service - Browser Options". Tab "Additionally". Checking the checkboxes SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.0. If not, mark and reload the browser.

Reset all settings

If the problem does not disappear, go to again "Control Panel - Internet Options" and we do "Reset" all settings.

Checking your computer for viruses

Very often, various viruses can block access to sites. Perform a full scan with the installed antivirus. I have NOD 32, so I’m showing it on it.

For reliability, you can use additional utilities such as AVZ or AdwCleaner.

By the way, the antivirus itself can block the desired site if it sees it as a security threat. Usually, when you try to open such a site, a blocked message is displayed on the screen. If this was the problem, then the antivirus can be disabled, but only if you are confident in the security of the resource. Maybe it’s blocking for good reason.

If none of the methods help, then your computer files have been damaged. You can try to roll back the system to the last saved state (if there was such a save) or reinstall the operating system. When I encountered a similar problem, the reset option helped me.

Internet Explorer: General How to Set Up Multiple Favorites Rows in IE9

When you create a new tab (about:Tabs), IE9 displays two rows of sites. You can change this behavior if in the section HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing\NewTabPage specify a new value for the DWORD NumRows parameter, which is responsible for the number of rows. You must restart your browser for the changes to take effect.

Full screen

To enable the mode Full screen, you need to press the F11 key. If you want IE9 to launch in this mode by default, then in the section set the Fullscreen parameter to Yes. To switch to normal mode, you can still use the F11 key.

Internet Explorer (without settings)

If you are running Internet Explorer 8 in No settings(Start→All Programs→Accessories→System Tools→Internet Explorer (without settings), then the browser opens a special page about:NoAdd-ons, which displays information that all add-ons are disabled. Using the registry, you can change this page. In chapter HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main look for the Extensions Off Page parameter which contains the value about:NoAdd-ons. You can set your home page, for example, http://user.alexanderklimov.ru or a blank page - about:blank.

Page scaling

Starting with IE7, the browser has the ability to zoom pages using Ctrl+mouse wheel (or Ctrl + and Ctrl -) or using the magnifying glass in the status bar. You can disable page scaling if the section HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Zoom create a DWORD parameter ZoomDisabled with a value of 1.

Disable page zoom feature

Blocking the browser selection window

In European versions of Windows, a browser selection window has appeared, where links to several popular browsers are displayed in random order. In a corporate environment, such a window is redundant, and administrators can disable this selection window if the DWORD Enable parameter in the HKLM\Software\BrowserChoice section is set to 0 (the default is 1 - show the selection window).

Internet Explorer version

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer

General IE7/IE8 Settings

IE7 browser settings are in branches HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TabbedBrowsing. All parameters are of type DWORD

• Enabled - Allows bookmark mode (multi-window mode): 0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled
• WarnOnClose - Warns the user when trying to close the browser that all tabs will also be closed: 0 = Do not notify / 1 = Notify
• OpenInForeground - Determines whether to always navigate to a bookmark when creating it or not: 0 = Disabled / 1 = Enabled
• QuickTabsThreshold - Determines whether the page thumbnail view feature will be available (Ctrl + Q): 0 = Disabled / 2 = Enabled
• OpenAllHomePages - If you have multiple home pages, each of which opens in a new bookmark when you start the browser, determines whether to allow the remaining pages to load or just the first one: 0 = Opens only the first page / 1 = Opens all pages

• ShortcutBehavior - Determines how IE should handle opening URLs from other applications: 0 = In a new window / 1 = On a new tab in the current browser window / 2 = Current tab/window

Menu

Starting with IE7, the browser does not display a menu bar by default. If you want the menu bar to be always at the very top in the browser, then in the section

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser

create a type parameter DWORD ITBar7Position with a value of 1. Restart the browser for the changes to take effect.

In IE8, the menu bar, if enabled in the toolbar settings, is located between the address field and the tab bar. Some may find this arrangement of elements inconvenient and want to move the menu bar to its usual position, that is, place it exactly under the title of the browser window. You won't be able to move the menu bar using standard tools. To do this, use the option mentioned above.

Policy: Computer Configuration (User Configuration) → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Internet Explorer → Move the menu bar above the navigation bar

Excluding IE8 from Windows Update

If you need to block automatic deployment of the program through the Windows Update service, then in the section HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Setup\8.0 create a DoNotAllowIE80 parameter with a value of one.

Setting up search services in IE8

IE8 has an updated instant search panel, the capabilities of which can be expanded by connecting additional network services to the browser. In the program's Add-on Manager window, you can change the order in which search services are displayed and disable them, but you cannot change the URLs assigned to them. To correct addresses, you need to go to the section HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes change the corresponding settings. Thus, for example, you can teach the Wikipedia add-on to search the Russian-language section of Wikipedia (by default, it searches for encyclopedic materials in English).

To change the HTML code viewer in IE8, you need to go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer create a subsection View Source Editor, in which to create another subsection Editor Name and in the default parameter write the line Notepad.exe.

If you want to use another editor, then write the full path to the executable file of your editor.

The same result can be achieved without resorting to the registry. See advice HTML Viewer (IE8) in the directory People's Councils.Windows

Here are the settings that are available from the Tools-Internet Options-Advanced menu. Regular users are recommended to change values ​​through this window. These examples are intended for programmers only. All parameters are entered in the section

All addresses that begin with the word about: are stored in the section string type parameters HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs. The values ​​of these parameters determine the pages that these addresses are displayed. The names of the parameters correspond to the line that needs to be added to the about: line to form the final address. Built-in commands are usually hard-coded into library resources.

Lines for combobox Address

When you click on the triangle in the Address combobox, a list of addresses you enter falls out.

You can edit this list (add, delete, change). Enter the section:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs

There is a list of your addresses, starting with the string parameter url1. Add or remove rows, but make sure to keep the parameters in order. Otherwise, if you have url1, url2, url5, url6, then only the first two addresses will be displayed

Note: This list will appear if there is a web address in the combobox. If there is a path to a file on the local computer, then a list similar to the Explorer list will appear.
