Add pinned items to the Windows 11 taskbar and remove the Windows Store

[skyblaster]

Based on the following instructions:

Unlike the "Start menu layout" Device Restrictions configuration profile, this method seems to be limited to pinning only three additional apps to the taskbar.

I was able to add pinned items using the Layout.xml method and copying the file to the following location:
Copy-Item "$($installFolder)Layout.xml" "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Layout.xml" -Force

For removing the Windows Store from the taskbar, that can be accomplished with a regkey:
reg.exe add "HKLM\TempUser\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v "NoPinningStoreToTaskbar" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f | Out-Host
