Windows 10 File Explorer - Restricting Options

[MYK-IT]

Hi,

 

Attempting to 'restrict' some settings within File Explorer for Windows 10 and can't get some options / requirements working (yet!)

 

Some examples of options I would like to disable / remove:

 

- Hide Libraries Icon (think I've got it working, although had to clear existing cached profiles before it worked ok)

- Hide Network Icon

- Pin to Quick access - Context Menu Option

- Give Access to - Context Menu Option

- Computer > Access Media > Connect to a media server

- Computer > Add a network location

- Computer > Uninstall or change a program

- Computer > System properties

- Computer > Manage

 

 

Although some I cannot get working (yet), they may actually be configured correctly - however, I am attempting to configure as much as possible via 'Device Configuration' profiles within Microsoft Endpoint Manager to do the task, instead of Local GPO. However, experience from recent weeks of testing has shown that policies being applied are not consitent, or behave as you'd expect especially for shared-devices. Although when it works, its great - but I am working towards the fact that certain essential policies will need to be configured and applied via Local GPO, whilst other settings can be done via MEM.

 

Many Thanks,
