Windows Mobile 6 – Internet Explorer Mobile modes

Since IE6 comes as 6.1.4 or higher, Internet Explorer Mobile can work in IE6 or the older PIE mode.

IE6 means Internet Explorer 6 desktop compatible mode. Which works more or less with known and unknown restrictions. The biggest advantage is that Internet Explorer (IEM) >=6.1.4 supports keyboard event DOM of javascript.

For some web sites you may downgrade to PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer) mode. You will get scroll bars and a standard menu bar and no on-screen zoom option.

To switch to PIE mode in Windows Mobile 6 or Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 you need to set the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer]
MSHTML=0
; 0=PIE mode
; 1=IE6 mode

To control the PIE view mode directly, you can use the following registry key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"MakeFit"=dword:00000002
; tested in PIE mode
; 2=OneColumn
; 1=FitToScreen
; 0=Desktop
