Users get an icon placed on their desktop at initial logon
Is it possible to disable this?
I can confirm used approach mentioned in this article to suppress desktop and quick launch shortcuts : https://oofhours.com/2020/02/10/deploying-the-new-microsoft-edge-without-a-desktop-shortcut/ Would be nicer to expose shortcut creation in the MSI shortcut or property tables, but injecting Chrome master_preference settings into the BuildInstallCommand CA appears to work.
Hello - the idea is we should be able to get the MSI from MS, configure the settings required in GPO and deploy without customising the msi package.
Microsoft need to supply a supported GPO / reg key to prevent it from occuring as this becomes an overhead on a 6 weekly release cycle / repackaging a base version. Microsoft provided reg keys for this of EdgeHTML and other applications, we need one for this as well.
