Set different browser on the admin-managed PC.
Set different browser on the admin-managed PC.
I have a work PC where certain components are controlled by the county IT team. They've set Chrome as the default browser, but I use Firefox instead. This setting clears every time I restart or log in. I'm considering using a batch script via the scheduler to fix this, though I'm not sure how to set it up properly. Additionally, there are some default desktop icons that reset on each login, and some aren't relevant for my role. I'd appreciate advice on keeping those icons unchanged. Thanks in advance.
Have you asked the IT team to revise the GPO settings that affect you or your device?
They already have a similar setup, making MS Edge the default and setting up shortcuts automatically through GPO. If someone discovered a way to bypass these rules, they should revert to the old method. For smaller teams, you might consider asking them to adjust the GPO so it doesn’t interfere. But for bigger organizations, you’re likely in trouble.
