Hi, This script fails on some of the endpoints with the message below. "Chrome Installed Google Chrome Set as Default Browser Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 134, in WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\\Users\\username\\Desktop\\Google Chrome.lnk'" I take these are the ones that do not have the Google Chrome shortcut on their desktops? On the successful deploys, it updates the Chrome shortcut on the desktop with the specific home page. However, if you run google chrome via other means, such as from programs list or any other shortcut, this does not work. I'd be grateful if you can please help with this. Regards Atilla
