Re: Windows 10 and magically hidden files.
This really sucks, we'll call the customer and let them know. Back in DCSI, we was able to block it with a policy, but we was running XP I think. There was some lawsuit or something before that and people sued Microsoft saying they couldn't force them to use IE or something. And Microsoft lost the lawsuit and had to provide the ability for it to be removed or blocked or something, if I remember correctly. I want to say they was trying to say it was integrated in such away where it couldn't be removed but they was forced too.
If I was to take a guess (which I shouldn't be doing), I'd guess it was probably for security reasons as to why they wanted it blocked / removed. Isn't Microsoft browser's notoriously bad at being secure?
What do you think would happen if I just renamed c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe ? Wonder if that'd break the system or not...wouldn't take care of the Edge problem but I gotta clarify if they want Edge or not as well. If it's got something to do with their kids, maybe I can suggest some net nanny type program or a good AV.
I think after this PC, I gotta take a break for a bit.
