Hello Guys,
I am trying to create a custom TaskbarLayoutModification.xml to apply to my OS (AuditMode). I've followed Microsoft guidance, and came up with this file:
Bsically, i would like to have the following itens:
- Windows Store
- Explorer
- Brave Browser
-Thunderbird
I've created a folder on C:\Windows\OEM and placed this .xml file there, then i've executed the following command:
cmd /c reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ /v LayoutXMLPath /d C:\Windows\OEM\TaskbarLayoutModification.xml
When i create a new User account on the device, the thunderbird icon is not listed.
To get the Thunderbird ID, i've executed the powershell command "Get-Startapps" and copied the ID that appers there.
Can someone please point me on the right direction?
Another topic.... i can't get rid of the MS Edge Icon on the Desktop... how can i solve this?
Regarding the default App's, i've set it under AUDIT, the Thunderbird (e-mail client) and the Brave Browser (as default Browser), then performed a ScanState.
Once again, when i create a new User acc, it's back to the defaults.
Who can help me with this task? Thank you so much in advance.
