    Hi Ravindrakashid,

    I am looking to work with someone to learn Powershell and I have some task that I want to automate using Powershell. Would you be interested? Here is what I want to do/

    1. Uninstall Citrix Files

    2. Uninstall Google Chrome

    3. Uninstall Firefox

    4. Set Edge as Default browser

    5. Remove Cortana Search

    6. Remove MS Store (But do not disable)

    7. Add Productivity to the XML file for StartMenu

    8. Install Windows Defender Endpoint

    9.  Modify the registry settings using Powershell (This works)

    Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search -Name SearchBoxTaskbarMode -Value 0 -Type DWord -Force
    Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced -Name HideFileExt -Value 0 -Type DWord -Force
    Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced -Name LaunchTo -Value 1 -Type DWord -Force

    10.  Group Policy Settings (Local GPO) I want to then move it Domain GPO

     

    ☐ Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Component\Turn off the Store application - Enabled 

    ☐ Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Component\News and Interests\Enable news and interests on the taskbar policy - Disabled

    File Explorer (manual from File Explorer) 

     

    ☐ Open to This PC (not Quick Access) 

    ☐ Enable File Extension 

    ☐ Search Bar is Removed 

     

    Start Menu Layout XML file  

     

    ☐ Copy the customized Start Menu XML file to C:\Scripts folder 

    ☐ Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Start Layout - Enabled 

    ☐ Point the Start Layout File location to C:\Scripts\StartMenuLayout.xml file 



    I am willing to work with someone to script it and learn in how to do this. Is anyone interested please reply to me and would like to work with someone who is experienced. Faster way to learn.



    Thank you
