Doesn't work!! Should allow zero stars!!
by Frank LaVecchia, 2024-03-15

Здравствуйте! Спасибо Вам за полезное расширение! Обновил Windows и расширение перестало работать. Windows 10 Pro для рабочих станций Версия 22H2 Сборка ОС 19045.3516 Кстати, в этой версии теперь невозможно запустить IE через стандартный ярлык. Только через ярлык со значением C:\Windows\System32\mshta.exe javascript:open();close() в поле "Объект". Если Вы не собираетесь более обновлять это расширение, не могли бы Вы подсказать аналогичное?
