v26 - Master_Preferences - Behaviour?

[Davinci]

Hi

 

Want to make sure I am doing this right and have the behaviour correct please?

 

This is my work flow:

 

1. Install Chrome v26 as admin

2. Post Install, copy and replace master_preferences in C:\program files\Google\Chrome\Application

3. Log in with a brand new user profile

4. Launch Chrome

 

I don't see any difference or settings applied?

 

Here is the contents of my modified package - trying to hide all shortcuts and icons for new users.

 

{"distribution":{
"msi":true,
"system_level":true,
"verbose_logging":true,
"do_not_create_desktop_shortcut": true,
"do_not_create_quick_launch_shortcut": true,}}

 

 

What/how should it look different after first launch?  From what I have read, it only works on first launch?  Is this correct or am I being a numpty?

 

Looking at http://www.chromium.org/administrators/configuring-other-preferences I cannot see "do_not_create_any_shortcuts": true syntax?  Does this work, if so wat does it remove?

 

Thank You

There's a trailing comma in the inner dictionary, so this file is invalid and won't be loaded.

Those pages have to be updated. "do_not_create_any_shortcuts" works since m26 and prevents the creation of all shortcuts, including the start menu.

Thanks Joao,

 

I will remove the last comma and try with only the remove all shortcuts to see what happens.
