W11 File explorer wont pin to task bar through GPO

[Jamie2581]

Hi All,

 

I have been trying to push out a policy to remove all pins from the taskbar for our virtual machines however for the life of me i cannot pin file explorer! I know the XML files working because i can add and remove apps like CMD. It also keeps outlook pinned no matter what i do. Any suggestions would be great. 

 

I am using the Start Layout Policy.
