Windows – Remove Microsoft Edge and Store taskbar shortcuts for all new users – Windows 10

shortcutstaskbarwindows 10

I already know that pinned shortcuts can be found in %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar, but the 2 shortcuts I mentioned in my title are not in there (they're not in the Default user either). I'm trying to make it so that those 2 shortcuts are not created when a new user logs in.

I also thought of deleting them after the user logs in (such as with a logon script on our Windows domain), but I can't do that if I don't know where they are stored. Any ideas?

They are saved under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband.

You can replace the whole key with a first logon script.
