GPO to Open Files on the new Edge WITHOUT saving first. REQUIRED for Kiosks (Always Open in System)
We're currently struggling with this issue in our enterprise and have used the AutoOpenFileTypes policy which does work, but the files are still downloaded to the users downloads folder. This obviously is not appropriate for things like Citrix .ica files, in our case.
I've dug through the current Edge policy templates from the link, but haven't come across anything that seems to address this, but I could have missed something.
Ciao, Mario
- I have the same issue i tried to use the GPO for msedge to target
AutoOpenFileTypes = gpo set to ica
AutoOpenAllowedForURLs = gpo set to the address where ica is downloaded
This has been done using Computer or User Configuration
I also set edge://settings/downloads "Ask me what to do with each download" to disabled
Scenario: when browser is opened as none full screen mode , No Issue was Found
Scenario: if msedge Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" -Argumentlist " --kiosk https://www.google.com --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen --new-window is launch via kiosk mode it always as to save as ica file before it automatically launched. I am using the same profle as none kiosk mode , also both are not in private mode , thus i am expecting the settings to be saved or use between kiosk mode and none kiosk mode , but its not happening
Thanks in AdvanceEdgarFerrerMoreno Just Sharing manage to resolve the kiosk mode issue for ICA file to always open without saveas /downloading the file
