Remove Edge (Legacy) application selection associations

Overview

About this script

This script improves your privacy on Windows.

These changes use Windows system commands to update your settings.

This script removes file and URL associations with Microsoft Edge Legacy (an old version of Edge), enhancing your privacy and potentially improving system performance.

This script removes Edge Legacy from the default application selection dialog for certain file types and protocols, preventing it from being easily chosen as the default handler. Even on newer Windows computers, the old Edge might still be set to open common file types like:

• Web file formats (.htm, .html)
• PDF documents (.pdf)
• Web protocols (http, https)

Removing these connections:

• Reduces potential data collection through Edge Legacy
• Prevents accidental use of an outdated browser
• Improves system stability if Edge Legacy is removed 1
• Can potentially enhance performance by eliminating unnecessary file associations

This script targets only Edge Legacy, leaving newer versions of Microsoft Edge unaffected.

Caution

After running this script, Edge Legacy will no longer appear as a default program option for associated file types and URLs. Remember to set an alternative application to handle these.

Technical Details

The known associations by default are:

Association	ProgID	Win 10 1903	Win 10 1909	Win 10 20H2	Win 10 21H2	Win 10 22H2	Win 11 21H2	Win 11 22H2	Win 11 23H2	Registry Path

Certain associations, like microsoft-edge and microsoft-edge-holographic URL protocols, may be shared between legacy and modern Edge versions. The script removes shared associations only if they are explicitly linked to legacy Edge, preserving functionality for newer Edge versions.

You can find all registered legacy Edge application selection associations using:
