Windows 10: Mirosoft Edge - Add Home button via Group Policy or Registry

Hi all,

I am in need of help. Need to get the Home button and the URL set via GPO or Registry for Edge.
The device is joined to the domain and I have found some registry settings, but it does not seem to work.
Even though the registry settings have been applied.

Anyone out there has any ideas or tried and tested method to set this.

:)

 

Disable Flash in Edge Browser - Group Policy / Script / Unattend?

There is no pre-defined Group Policy Template with an option to Disable Flash in Edge.

Microsoft seem intent on limiting what an administrator can easily control, and have even blocked a number of Group Policy settings from applying on the Pro SKU of Windows 10 v1607. It's a worrying trend.

However, you can create a Group Policy Preference (rather than a Policy) and hardcode the Registry string and value.

This will achieve exactly what you want, and the setting will be distributed via normal Group Policy processing.

It will tattoo the Registry - whereas Group Policy doesn't.

 

Turn off or Disable Edge Swipe / Gestures on tablet?

Cheers, already have all this installed.

Doesn't allow me to add the home button to edge and set it's URL path.

 

Far as i know there is no such a registry value that will add the home button to edge and set it's URL path.

 

I found this but couldnt get it to work. - Edge home page and home page button

 

The registry file i have uploaded works all you have to do is replace the "http://www.redmond.com/" with your home button page.

 

Don't really want to violate the poilcy, but will try it in my lab.

Cheers for the replies

 

You don't seem to need that bit in the .reg file, I've tested it and it works without it. You only appear to need the "HomeButtonEnabled" and "HomeButtonPage" bits.
