Assigned Access Kiosk and Edge Favorites

Chris Barth 1

I have a kiosk set up on Windows 10 Pro with allowing Edge "As a public browser" and I find that a user can create a favorite but can't delete it or otherwise manage favorites. Also, the favorites will persist after the user ends their session. How can I turn off the ability to add a favorite?

Hi @Chris Barth

If you don't want to allow users to add a favorite, you can disable this policy: Allows users to edit favorites. Then users can't add a favorite in kiosk mode.

@Anonymous , That would stop all favorites from being created on the machine, wouldn't it? There are others that use this machine by logging on, and I don't want to change the favoriting behavior for them, just for the Kiosk user.

Hi @Chris Barth

You can apply this group policy to specific user using MMC. You can try the following steps:

Open mmc.exe.

When the MMC console opens, click "File" -> "Add/remove Snap-in...".

Select "Group Policy Object Editor" in the left panel and click the "Add >" button.

In the pop up, click "Browse...".

Click the "Users" tab and select the kiosk mode user.

Click "Finish", "OK" to save it.

Then in the "User Configuration" you can configure the group policy you want.
