GPO to Open Files on the new Edge WITHOUT saving first. REQUIRED for Kiosks (Always Open in System)
We have thousands of Health Kiosks running in hospitals that are running IE 11. We want to upgrade them to Edge Chromium. We have tons of Group Policies restricting the "saving" of documents outs...
Have you checked the new policies in Edge Beta?

AutoOpenFileTypes
AutoOpenAllowedForURLs
Those might do what you want, although its unclear if the Auto Open feature puts the files in a temp location...
- I know this is an old thread, so my apologies for resurrecting it.
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.- Have you tried to use the GPO for EDGE Always open PDF files externally.
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 Advance
Just to answer, the AutoOpenFileTypes was working in my case with jnlp files, the files are not downloaded, they are automatically opened. Before you just need to associated .jnlp with java web launcher. Thx to putting me on the right track 🙂
