[SOLVED] How do I remove the Windows Explorer and Windows Store icons from the taskbar while editing Win 8.1?

[wtfheroes]

Hello guys. I am customizing Windows 8.1 with NTLite_v1.5.0.5930_x64. I want nothing in the taskbar after installation. But the user should be able to place items on the taskbar. I've tried three different methods, but I still have not been successful. The methods I use:

Spoiler: Method 1) " UnpinTaskbar_Alternative#1.reg "

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband]
"Favorites"=hex:ff

Spoiler: Method 2) " UnpinTaskbar_Alternative#2.reg "

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband]

Spoiler: Method 3) " Reset_Clear_Pinned_Taskbar_Items.bat "

DEL /F /S /Q /A "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\*"

REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband /F

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

start explorer.exe

The files are working, but it does not work when I integrate into NTLite. I'm waiting for your help.

SOLVED

Spoiler: BAT FILE

:: Clear File Explorer and Windows Store icon in Taskbar and Start Screen
DEL /F /S /Q /A "%SystemDrive%\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\File Explorer.lnk"
DEL /F /S /Q /A "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Store.lnk"

Integrate this bat file into NTLite Post-Setup.

I strive and found the answer. Thanks myself
