So you are saying there is no way to prevent that?

Hi!

We are trying to install Chrome during OSD and are facing an issue with the desktop shortcut creation. Even though we checked the "delete desktop shortcuts" option in the PMPC publisher a shortcut gets created.
We also tried getting rid of the shortcut by putting a modified initial_preferences file under "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application" which didn't help either.

The file has the following content:

Code Select Expand


{
"distribution": {
"do_not_create_any_shortcuts" : true,
"do_not_create_desktop_shortcut": true,
"do_not_create_quick_launch_shortcut": true,
"do_not_launch_chrome": true,
"suppress_first_run_default_browser_prompt": true,
"system_level": true,
"msi": true,
"verbose_logging": true
}
}


The desktop shortcut gets created under the user that logs in to the freshly imaged machine, it's not living on the public desktop.

Does anyone have any idea what can be done here to prevent Chrome from creating a desktop shortcut?
