Edge desktop icon

I have just installed the newly released enterprise version of Edge and am trying to block the auto creation of the desktop icon. Is this at all possible? I have tried with the master_preference file...

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.
