adding exception for local files to iecompatdata.xml on Win RT and IE Metro

0

In order to allow flash content, it needs to be added to the iecompatdata.xml file in %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\IECompatData\ as part of the under flash>domain.

This works fine for websites, but how can I add an exception for local files?

I tired <domain>C:\</domain> but that didn't work. Is this possible at all?

What local files? SWFs? – Karan – 2012-11-20T20:28:05.813

yes, local swf. – Daniel – 2012-11-20T22:36:01.203

because WindowsRT won't let you run non app store software. It fould require an upgrade to Win 8 – Daniel – 2012-11-20T23:49:19.893

Ah, didn't see RT mentioned in the title above. Will check for a working solution, if it exists. – Karan – 2012-11-20T23:52:35.877
