Hi

We have an App we access from a internet website.
We would like to add a shortcut on all our Windows 11 laptops (+400) so the shortcut in available in the taskbar.
How do I do this? We currently use a GPO and apply a *.xml file. The other shortcuts we use work just fine, but they are local installed apps and not website shortcuts

Did a search online, but cannot make it work

    Hi @Callisen

    If putting the shortcut on users' desktop is also OK for you, you can refer to the answer in this thread. You can achieve this using the GPMC on a Windows domain. I made a test and it can create the website shortcut on desktop. The setting is like below, you can define your website url in the setting:
