Not used the product before but after changing the web.config have you restarted the web server. Sorry to point out the obvious but something we can over look the simple steps. I have done it many times. I'm not sure what web server it uses but a restart of the server will definitely restart the web server. I'm sure you have already done this

Hi, I'm not sure if you have tried this method, I found that i needed to create the "Shellfolder" key and then add the Reg_DWord with the name of "Attributes" with a value of 00100000. This works per a user so you have more control. I tried it on a windows 10 machine and once i restarted explorer the network icon had gone. No special permissions are needed by the user so i think a GPP that applied to the user would work with a registry setting. https://serverfault.com/a/676817 just in case the thread is removed or changed in the furtue , I have copied the text from the page that was given For this particular problem, if you want to disable the "Network" icon on the left side of the File Explorer navigation pane on a per user basis instead of system wide because it is nice to have as an administrator, you can create this registry key instead and implement it as a group policy preference. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\ShellFolder As mentioned above, you need to create a DWORD entry called "Attributes" and give it a value of "00100000" hexadecimal. After much research trying to get rid of other icons on the Ribbon UI, I found that the above value of "b0940064" technically does work but all you are really doing is turning on the SFGAO_NONENUMERATED bit in the hex, so the rest of data means nothing.

@mike86 With regards to Quick Access, Im not sure how you go about removeing it but you can set a REG_DWORD to ensure when you open explorer it goes to this PC instead of the quick access. make a Group Policy that apply to the users with the following Registry setting Action: Update Hive: HKEY_Current_User Key Path: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced Name: LaunchTo Value Type: Reg_DWord Value Data:00000001 Base: hex

@RichB i always assume remote apps are external but good point if they are only internal remote apps. Glad you managed to resolve the issue

Hi Richard By AUP i'm assumming you are on about the "Interactive logon" messgae that users click OK to login and type their details. I havent used windows server 2016 rds yet but i can only assume Im sure you have a resson but they should still accept these terms when using a remote app, I would not recommend this but im here providng technical advice not legal. This Policy is located at "Computer Configuration" -> "Policies" -> "Windows Settings" -> "Secuirty Settings" -> "local Polices" -> "Secuirty Options" -> "Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on" The only way (I can see) you would stop this is to make a new GPO with only the Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on policy and then apply this to all computers but then in the "Delegation" Tab Deny the computer that you don't want this to apply to. You might also need to go into the local group Policy editor for that machine and remove the text as i dont think the group policy will remove the setting. use can get into the local group polocy by using the MMC conole on the local machine. Thanks

Hi Stuart You may also want to look at setting IE 11 setting for users using Registry Keys in Group Policy. I have inlcuded a microsoft page link that displays the Registry Keys you can add for IE 10 and 11.

Hi Stuart, EDIT: After Reading the below comment, 3s-Gtech anwser is spot on with regards to 2008R2 not allowing you to manage any IE after IE 8 I'm not 100% sure on your setup or your level of knowledge, if you are using a central store or unsure then you may want to follow along. if you know you are not using a central store then regard this post. To find out if you are unsure: Go to your Domain controller and open Group Policy management. Expand to the following: Forest -> Domains -> %Domain Name% -> Group Policy Objects. Find a policy that has a Administrative templete and click it in the policy change the tab to settings and expand Computer or user Configuration then expand Polices and then Administrative templete. Just under the Administrative templete you might see "Policy definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the central store" If you are using a central store Make sure you are coping the files to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies on your domain controler or \\%Domain Computer Name%\SYSVOL\%FQDM%\Policies share instead of the folder located at C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions to clarify, if you are using a central store, you need to copy the admx file to the root of the share and then copy the adml file into the LanguageCode folder
