Hello guys, 

 

I wonder if there is a way to make the software association from win 10 by an easyest way than manualy ?

 

I got an issue where i work. 

I got 300 students in charge. They are all from different country ... China romany japan... etc... 

When they use GMAIL they are changing the language settings.  I will simply code somthing to erase all browser data at each startup. 

 

Before i do that i whould like to know... You know something to do the google defaut browser association ?

I am talking about this : 

 

Thanks !

Just found this : 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.html\OpenWithList

Name : A
Type : REG_SZ
Data : chrome.exe

But still searching better way...

Normally it would be something like :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.html\Shell\Open\Command

that way it will apply to all users

@Nine You know if there is an other way than the registry ?

Use Dism or group policy  to deploy file associations see https://4sysops.com/archives/default-file-associations-in-windows-10/  I normally use Dism in the OSD image rather than group policy otherwise users cannot change the file associations that are defined in the default file associations xml document.  However that's because our organisation allows staff to select for instance what ever browser they wish to use, if you want to force these file associations than group policy is the way to go.

Well the thing is if i force policy what will happen if i reset association after that ? 

 

This is why I opened a thread  Tryed to dodge the beta test xD

Not sure what you mean, even if you reset associations, once group policy reapplies, usually every 90 minutes and/or login, it will reconfigure those settings for the user as defined in your xml file.

The best thing to do would be create the GPO, modify the scope to target only selected group of users, test, any issues modify/remove the GPO, otherwise deploy across to all your users.

use the startup script to fire chrome with the '--make-default-browser' argument?

N1  . 

@Subz

Well working with gpo just to reset Google data to defaut is a bit too much. 

I thought we was talking about local policy.

 

i will post my working code. May you Guy gonna improve it after. Let’s see
