Thanks jaapkrijger !

I'm running Win10 with QB2020 Desktop.  On one of the recent MS updates, it uninstalled IE 11 and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it re-installed (I've been IT professional since 1976 and a QuickBooks user since 1995). 

The IE explorer directory was intact (or at least it was there after my multiple re-install attemps) and I made the Registry fix

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Iexplore.exe]
@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\""

Suggested in that article and it throws a non-fatal error but brings up QuickBooks 2020.  But it works!  I've never been a fan of Intuit's coding and features.  There is a flaw in the code that I pointed out to them in probably the late '90s, that is still there to this day.

Does anyone know of a better product that QuickBooks that I could convert my accounting over to?  I'm just now retiring from my company that I started in 1995, but I still need to use quickbooks or the data from it for another 7 years if the Infurnal Revenue Service comes after me.

Thanks again, it works for me!
