Windows 10: Need assistance with answer file, and some changes reverted after

For Edge favorites, you can use Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) to set them in Audit Mode before sysprepping. The policy you need to edit is Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge > Configure Favorites. Users can edit, add and remove favorites set here.

Alternatively you can configure favorites using policy Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge > Provision Favorites. Provisioning instead of configuring, users cannot edit, sort, move, export or remove favorites.

Chrome is a bit trickier, see for instance this: Google Groups

Start and Taskbar customization:

• Customize the Taskbar | Microsoft Docs
• Customize the Start layout | Microsoft Docs

 

Hello everyone,

I put together my first answer file, which almost completed what I wanted.

• Created two administrators, and a local account.
• Skipped express setup
• Skipped signing into Microsoft account.
• Skipped creating an account.

However, the following two parts popped up that I would like removed:

• Select Timezone / Location
• Select Keyboard Layout
• Secondary Layout Choice
• Windows Updates
• Accept User agreement * (Not a big deal, but I would like it removed).

Also, some things did not roll over:

• Microsoft Edge did not save the homepage.
• Google Chrome did not save homepage/extensions.
• Start Menu Titles reverted back, customization disappeared.
• Task bar also reverted back.

If anyone can help with any sections above, I would highly appreciate this!

:)

 

Used a software removal tool. Some changes were reverted and changed in windows registry. I need help reverting back the changes.

nope. Sadly I did not bother to update the backup... And arent some of these registries are easily fixed back on? I just need to know where to find some of these files and registries to revert some of these changes...

 

Cortana needs some assistance?

Heellloooow,

Here you go! I'm here, telling Cortana : ''Hey you human-wannabe (joking), launch Dota 2''. And she offers me to launch several executables without any of them being the one I want.

My question is : Is there any way I can show Cortana (through Windows or by coding) the path to particular executable to fit with a particular command I choose.

For example : I'd like to link ''Dota 2'' with the path : D/Games/SteamApps/common/dota 2 beta/dota.exe

If not, then is it planned to add this feature in a following update? (I mean, really, Microsoft, I would be very disapointed if you didn't ... )

 

Can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate it.
