Bruce is probably the right person to answer this question.

I know that CapeSoft replaced File Explorer with Chrome Explorer as a tool
built for the future, so you can probably swap out for that as a best way
forward.

I suspect that when IE11 reaches end of life that they will stop all
updates for it and that things depending on it will not work.

Some threads I followed even mentioned taking old IE11 installers and
installing them on Windows 11 and the files from the installer don't even
show up when it is finished.

Edge does have a funky sort of tool where you can enable IE mode for
specific URLs, but I played around with that and it did not work to buy the
code sign certificate. When the URL calls to another IE page, it fails.
Plus IIRC the URLs you enter as an exception into the list of your edge
browser only work for 30 days and then they are removed.

In the case of the code signing, the web page interacts with the browser to
manipulate the certificate cache on the PC.

I'm not sure if Edge or other modern browsers can do this, but if so then
the web pages are going to have to be updated to use code that would call
into the capabilities of the more modern browsers.

Or they could just forget all this code signing stuff and go back to the
wild west hacker days of before...
