Is it possible to disable search location in file explorer voa intune
Hi all, Is it possible to disable the file search bar which allows users to search for locations ie Appdata via intune?
Hi, So this will stop a user being able to type in ie %appdata% in the search (where it says Home in my screenshot) my issue is I need users not to be able to edit location: C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions but they need read access so that extensions dont break is this possible?
The bar should be gone with that setting
- Hi Harm, this doesnt seem to have worked are ther other ways to give only read access to this location: C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions

If you use this, the extensions are managed or are you already doing that?- Yes so we are using this however we have filtering set via our firewall which is why we block users adding extensions and only allowing the firewall extension (add a few others) which cant be removed but if the user goes to C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Extensions and deleted the extension then for a short period of time untill the reopen the browser they are able to bypass the firewall. I spoke to the firewall company and they said we need to set read only permissions on that location which I am unsure on how to do
