    IE won't start using -private parameter


    A shortcut with this target WORKS (IE starts when clicked):
    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
    but the same shortcut edited to include -private will NOT launch IE when clicked:
    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -private
    remove the parameter to verify that's the only change and try again, launches IE:
    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

    Also tried starting from the C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer folder.

    What could be the problem? This worked several days ago.

    Will it launch from a command prompt window?

    Perhaps this tool will help:

    Also see what this does,
    Use No Add-ons mode/ Click the Start button and type in the search box,
    Internet explorer
    Click on the suggestion (No Add-ons) or it’s located at,
    Start/ All programs/ Accessories folder/ System tools folder/ No add-ons.

    If using ie10 the first link will apply to ie9 as well,
