Description Of Changes

Add a function to disable the first run wizards of Microsoft's browsers.

Motivation and Context

Invoke-WebRequest doesn't work properly until IE is configured. Edge has a long cumbersome first run wizard that many find undesirable.

Testing

  1. Copied the function into a PowerShell 5.1 window on a Windows 10 VM
  2. Ran the function in there
  3. Verified it worked as intended.

Change Types Made

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change)
  • Feature / Enhancement (non-breaking change)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that could cause existing functionality to change)
  • PowerShell code changes.

Change Checklist

  • Tests to cover my changes, have been added
  • All new and existing tests passed.
  • PowerShell v2 compatibility checked.

Opening this as draft to get it up. I noticed that both COMMITERS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md think they were modified, even though nothing but git thinks that 😂 . But it prompted me to ensure there weren't any differences with other Chocolatey ones, and noted a few things that I need to clean up about the function I've added here, so I'll get that done before marking this as ready.

Add function to disable browser first run wizards so that PowerShell
Invoke-WebRequest can work correctly, and so that Edge doesn't pester
the user to configure it.

NOTE: because of #565, it might be required to explicitly export new functions in the corresponding manifest (=> WinConfig.ps1) in order to be available during runtime... 🤔
