    Then I guess, that you have an error somewhere, because it does not, but the one on howtogeek does.

    Do not remember seeing this posted but here is where edge stores favorite:

    C:\Users\ "user"\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorite

    Where "user" is your user name minus the space at "user"

    Also Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe might be a different string at the end.

    /edit forgot a forward slash...fixed

    Not if you use DSC to push the setting every 30 minutes. Think of "Desired State Configuration" like a powershell script that behaves as a domain free group policy.

    I run my reg file every time I turn off my computer, for security reasons as well, to remove run entries, possible infections.

    Naw, just run a script like this once in powershell, it will re-run itself under the System account every 30 minutes or so --- or whatever the new default timeout is in W10 DSC.

    Clear event viewer. You can run as .Bat :tasty:
    Code:
    @echo off
FOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V
IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin
for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G")
echo.
echo goto theEnd
:do_clear
echo clearing %1
wevtutil.exe cl %1
goto :eof
:noAdmin
exit

    Man, I'm no Jeffrey Snover. I'm old school reg commands. I need to understand the ins and outs of PowerShell. :tasty:
