取消固定 Microsoft Edge 并以编程方式存储任务栏快捷方式

Question

I setup computers daily and I need to remove the Microsoft Edge and Store taskbar shortcuts.

I am having trouble creating a script and I have searched for other stackoverflow posts but they were not helpful to me.

Does anyone have a script that can unpin the MS Edge and Store taskbar shortcuts?

Answer 1

You can unpin taskbar items by running the following PowerShell commands.

function Unpin-App([string]$appname) {
    ((New-Object -Com Shell.Application).NameSpace('shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}').Items() |
        ?{$_.Name -eq $appname}).Verbs() | ?{$_.Name.replace('&','') -match 'Unpin from taskbar'} | %{$_.DoIt()}
}

Unpin-App("Microsoft Edge")
Unpin-App("Microsoft Store")

This should work for any application on the taskbar. If the application isn't found, the error InvokeMethodOnNull will be thrown.

What this does:

• Enumerates the Shell/taskbar COM object namespace
• Matches the item with the name $appname (in this case, Edge and Store)
• Gets the verb Unpin from taskbar of that com object
• Executes the verb to remove it from the taskbar (without having to kill explorer.exe)

Very nice solution from Judge2020, +1

• With a RegEx and -match instead of -eq you can unpin several Apps in one run
• The unpin verbs are localized, in German it's Von "Start" lösen

$appnames = "^Microsoft Edge$|^Store$"
((New-Object -Com Shell.Application).NameSpace('shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}').Items() | 
  Where-Object{$_.Name -match $appnames}).Verbs() | 
  Where-Object{$_.Name.replace('&','') -match 'Unpin from taskbar|Von "Start" lösen'} | 
  ForEach-Object{$_.DoIt(); $exec = $true}
