08/30/2023, 1:17 PMDoesn't appear to be a registry key, which makes me think it's in a flat file somewhere. Funny, because for the last few days I have been unpinning and re-pinning my Edge shortcut wondering WTF that icon was.

08/30/2023, 1:19 PMso far i threw together a script that kills any desktop shortcut w/ that naming convention but its just a band aid

08/30/2023, 1:26 PMexactly what I did and am reading through now
Nick Panaccio
08/30/2023, 1:27 PMWell, I know it's not a reg value because I exported my HKCU hive before making the change and used kdiff to compare, nothing related to Edge.

08/30/2023, 1:27 PMyup same here. nothing useful at least

Nick Panaccio
08/30/2023, 1:28 PMI bet it's in one of those dumb .ldb files in your profile.
Nick Panaccio
08/30/2023, 1:28 PMSo many of them are being written to, but it's impossible to tell.

08/30/2023, 1:36 PMYeah, I'm just not seeing anything. May just have to wait for MS to update their ADMX template with a setting.

Andrew Gresbach
08/30/2023, 1:37 PMsadly you might be right! i read something that the duplicates thing was a bug so maybe an edge update will at least stop the bleeding soon

Nick Panaccio
08/30/2023, 1:39 PMWhatever it is, it doesn't appear to be included in the latest ADMX files.

Andrew Gresbach

09/14/2023, 2:13 PMit almost looks like an on purpose wallpaper at this point

Aaron Parker
09/14/2023, 10:57 PMIn addition to excluding .link files from syncing, ensure Edge is current, and set the donotcreatedesktopshortcut policy setting

Andrew Gresbach

Aaron Parker
10/09/2023, 5:49 AMYes. Under Edge Update somewhere
