    How can I convert a *.zip or *.rar file to *.cab, I want to convert these files Microsoft-Windows-win32calc-Package-amd64-es-es.zip and Microsoft-Windows-win32calc-Package-wow64-es-es .zip, I have tried through the online website, it converts them but it gives me a reading error when I try to add them with NTlite to the ISO

    Just wondered when reading this topic: Is there any working method of turning off the "less-than-helpful" Librabry icons in the file open/save dialogs? I gave up on Windows File Explorer (using XYPlorer instead, which actually lets you see a list of your files and lets you keep your settings), but the file dialogs still bother me.

    I can also uninstall edge with WingetUI. Then again I set my region to Luxembourg to benefit from EU privacy and protection laws.

    But for those of you using it at times, or who keep it as a backup, here is a giant privacy registry file based off the Edge Enterprise .admx files.
    It might need some refinement but I just spent like 5 hours combing a massive list of settings made by people that don't know what a paragraph is.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    i think it better to keep view, but, this lines.

    Code:
    $uninstallRegKey = $microsoft.OpenSubKey('Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge')
    $uninstallString = $uninstallRegKey.GetValue('UninstallString') + ' --force-uninstall'
    
    i can also add uninstall registry key for VIEW, if this key found in uninstall

    I tried to modify your script but without success.

    I will appreciate it very much.
    I want to get rid of Edge, Webview2 and Edge update.
    Before I used the Aveyo script but on 11 IoT LTSC, it no longer works.

    Code:
    Set-Location "hklm:"
    $e_view = gi "HKLM:SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients\{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    actually nice features, using registry to modify.
    Code:
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /f /v SearchboxTaskbarMode /t reg_dword /d 2
    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v ShowTaskViewButton /t reg_dword /d 1

    New 22631.3668 build uses some new registry entries to create "Home" and "Gallery" in Navigation Panel. Old tweaks to remove those are not working... Does anyone know what the new registry entries are for those items?
