Does anyone know where I can find a list of Selenium VBA arguments for EdgeDriver?

Been using EdgeDriver with Selenium to do some web automation. The issue I'm running into is it creates a registry key under HKCU/.../Run and apparently it's tied to data logging. I'd like to see if I can disable logging, but also want to see what other arguments I can pass. I'm having zero luck finding any guide or documentation online.

Thanks for the response! I did try all those searches, however the questions are all related to either C#, python, etc and not VBA specifically.

Side note, I just moved from Iowa City, IA - great place!

Fair on IC. I'm not a huge fan of the politics but I found the people friendly and the surrounding area convenient.

I am posting in a VBA subforum, so not sure what anybody is doing here then if it's 20 years outdated.

It's the only language I know, which hardly counts I know. But I do a LOT of automation within Excel and often Outlook, and just started getting into web APIs with it which is why I'm having the current issues I'm having.

I assume another language can also interact with these programs? If so, what would you recommend as a second language to pick up?

Alternatively, do you know of a convenient way to delete registry subkeys? If I can just add a loop to clear out the created keys, that works just as well for me.

Here's some advice that you will find priceless.

I just talked with the mayor on the phone today, and he's a black man. Runs nursing homes in town. and I sent him and all the city counsel members a very negative email 2 weeks ago regarding me being asked to leave 4 different public places in this town, and for no reason at all other than the fact that the unintelligent people that worked in those places had a deep seeded hatred for me. and obviously, for good reason. If someone who is not intelligent runs into someone that is, there's bound to be conflict. nothing can be done. But I told the mayor that I have no issue with anyone, but apparently that does not matter. He told me to reconsider because he loves the town, and I told him it was a possibly but not to count on it. A very intelligent man himself, but I could tell that he had a little bit of a disdain for me because he has no technical skills whatsoever, so I tried to take it easy on him.

because it's still widely used the world over, especially in foreign countries that are not even close to being as advanced as the USA, the UK or Japan/China/Russia.

I bet you didn't know that 90% of the programmers in the world don't even know what API really means, did you? People will literally call anything an API. LOL. I've talked to some people that said the following was a freakin algorithm!

but that is web-oriented coding syntax that applies to many languages. the VBA equivalent is this:

API means application programming interface, and the term has come to mean, in the programming world, anything and everything for some strange reason. but my guess is that, aside from the technical reasoning, people naturally have a desire to feel smart. That would make perfect sense to me. But alas, the smartest person on Earth knows that code has nothing to do with knowing how to get things done. Humans are the key. Furthermore, what's in the human heart is more of a key, and the one who can find it in others and use is accordingly can literally move mountains. Machines become completely irrelevant.

almost every one of them can. these include, but are not limited to: c#, vb.net, python, c, c++, javascript, php, ruby on rails (probably), any new-age javascript framework, julia

anything really. it depends on all of the following, IMO: what business you are in, what your motivation is, how much you already know about coding, what vendors you like / trust, etc, etc.... If you want to learn something that can literally be used for any purpose because it is so resource rich and can interact with almost any other platform, database, language, etc...., learn Python and its famous libraries. Some of these are:

Pandas:

Numpy:
https://numpy.org/

Requests:
https://pypi.org/project/requests/2.7.0/

Arrow:
https://pypi.org/project/arrow/

PyTorch:
https://pytorch.org/

BeautifulSoup (perfect for web scraping):
https://pypi.org/project/beautifulsoup4/

no I do not, but why would you do such a thing? that's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. On a side note, I have always disliked Microsoft's people for being obsessed with registry manipulation as the ""end all be all""" answer for everything. I've seen them talk about that as the ""quick fix"" answer for every question asked under the sun for 20 years. See this thread and my response to him just today (no idea why they push that):

now you've got plenty of information to work with. goodnight.
