Hi! We have had a workstation image (Windows 7 x64) deployed to numerous machines (including my own) with the following IEAK setting enabled:
"Delete existing Favorites and Links, if present"
The setting is located in gpedit, under User Configuration/Windows Settings/Internet Explorer Maintenance/URLs/Favorites and Links
The image is being fixed, but customer service is looking to have us fix via GPO. I have been scouring the net, trying to figure out a way to do this. I haven't found a registry switch and if I configure a GPO for this, it just sets that particular setting to "not configured" and won't disable it on those that have had it enabled. The only way I can see to do this is manually on each machine, but that's not my preferred option, obviously. Does anyone know of a way to disable this setting via GPO? Batch script, VB, reg fix?
Thanks!
