Edge desktop icon

Really hope this gets picked up soon. I've been trying to write a powershell script achieve this, but the only thing I'm having an issue doing is removing the desktop icon. I've gone as far as trying:

$users = Get-ChildItem -Path "c:\users"

foreach($user in $users) {
    if([System.IO.File]::Exists("C:\Users\$($user.name)\Desktop\Microsoft Edge.lnk")) {
        #Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$($user.name)\Desktop\Microsoft Edge.lnk"
        Write-Output "Removed Edge Link for $($user.name)"
    } 
}

This works great, however, we're operating on Shared PC mode.

There is a way... Edge uses some of the same config as chrome.  So you can edit the master_preferences file located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application.

Add: "do_not_create_desktop_shortcut":true  to the distribution portion of the json, below is my edit from our installation.  Now this won't prevent the shortcut during installation since the install appears to use the file for installation in the msi. 

Since there is installation info in the file, I scripted editing the existing file rather that having a true "master preference" file just copied to the dir like chrome uses which only handles config not installation methods.

Whats even worse about this behavior... If you don't do the above... If you just delete the shortcut in the public profile... Edge will create shortcuts in each user profile at launch/update.

{"distribution":{"do_not_create_desktop_shortcut":true,"msi":true,"system_level":true,"verbose_logging":true,"msi_product_id":"2D0AE8FB-D52E-3D51-845F-FF1A7FFBB09E","allow_downgrade":false}}
