Create the provisioning package. When ready to export, close the project in Windows Configuration Designer.
Open the customizations.xml file in the project folder (e.g C:\Users\name\Documents\Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (WICD)\Project_18).
Insert the null character string in between each URL (e.g https://www.bing.comhttps://www.contoso.com).
Save the XML file.
Open the project again in Windows Configuration Designer.
Export the package. Ensure you do not revisit the created policies under Kiosk Browser or else the null character will be removed.
