Hi,
when I use WebRecorder functions, can I start Internet Explorer with no extensions?
Thanks in advance

Not with IECreate, but if you could use Run to shell IE with the -extoff switch and then use IEGetFromURL to get a handle to IE instead of using IECreate.

I try:
RunProgram>C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe https://it.yahoo.com
IEGetFromURL>https://it.yahoo.com,IE_inst
IE_inst=0 and run

RunProgram>C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff https://it.yahoo.com
IEGetFromURL>https://it.yahoo.com,IE_inst
IE_inst=-1 and error

Why? Can you help me?

You're not waiting for IE to exist/load. Probably need to add at least a WaitWindowOpen. I'd also add a short Wait of a second or two to be sure.

I insert WaitWindowOpen and Wait>2, but the results don't change.
With -extoff the variable IE_inst is -1, while without -extoff the macro is running.

I'm sorry it appears you cannot automate IE via COM when -extoff is specified. I guess you'll have to disable specific extensions individually instead.
