Now that you got rid of Edge, how are users getting in the internet?
No way in hell they are searching the start menu for IE

Seriously - If I didn't drop a shortcut on the start bar, people around here would NEVER find IE.

@Dashrender I shall Group Policy a Desktop shortcut.

@Dashrender seriously considering making a configuration template for the taskbar though. It may be a bit controlling, but it may pay off when i have to do quick things over the phone that I wouldn’t necessarily need to remote into for. Continuity if you will...

I did that at image/setup setup time.
I'm guessing since it's applied by a template at setup, the users can make all the changes they want.
If you can set this in GPO through Policy Preferences, it should be a set once, then user config type option.

@IRJ Still in beta I thought.
Yeah but I've been using it for months now as my daily driver, only using other browsers for separate sessions. Barley any issues at all (likely less than mainstream browsers), and I use all kinds of web apps.

Create a login script to rename "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" to C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe_remove" that way you can locate it again if you want to change it in the future.
Does this part
_8wekyb3d8bbweof the filename ever changes after a version/build of Windows 10 update?Not in my experience, ever.

@G-I-Jones : That's what we do. Provide a default (sane) taskbar template and deploy to users. They can change it themselves afterwards if they like.
Usually :
File explorer
Chrome
Word
Excel
Outlook
LOB app
Remove task view
Remove people
Remove search/cortanaNeed a sample XML to simplify your life?

@manxam Yea I'm probably going to give them basic Office suite and some browsers as well. No thanks on the sample xml. I'll be making one shortly anyhow. Much appreciated though!
