hi jeramy,

the default pinned items created first time user logs in. modifying default user profile won’t here.

 

the easiest option is to set “remove pinned programs taskbar” disable taskbar pinned items altogether. default pinned items won’t show up, user won’t able pin else either.

 

if you don't want disable pinning altogether solution little more complicated. 1 option remove shortcuts “accessories\windows powershell\windows powershell.lnk” , “administrative tools\server manager.lnk” common start menu folder. these shortcuts copied create pinned items. if aren’t present can’t pinned. not supported option may work.

another option use istartmenupinnedlist::removefromlist in first run script remove pinned items. not sure how reliable due timing of when default items added compared when script run.

one other option use shell scripting invoke pin & unpin verbs on items:

this need done when user first logs in (since unpinning default items in default user profile won't affect each new user account), need timed after explorer sets default pinned items explained above.

hope 1 of these options work you!
