If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade explorer-winconfig -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
The average person probably doesn't need this. This package is primarily for sysadmins who have to constantly configure computers and make sure they are all the same. Sure, there are other methods of doing these same functions. You can manually change the settings, it doesn't take that long. You could use GPO or a configuration manager, but not everyone has access to these tools - but you have access to Chocolatey! I put Chocolatey on just about every box I touch... so I made this Chocolatey package for (almost) super simple configuration, well, really so I can add it to my setup scripts. Installing this package is probably too complex for the average person, but it should be of good use to those who script or automate a lot of installs using Chocolatey. This is part of a series of "-winconfig" packages for configuration automation. Others include desktopicons-winconfig, homepages-winconfig, and taskbar-winconfig

There is no upgrade path for this package. explorer-winconfig is a "one and done" package.

Settings changes only effect the currently logged in user. Of course, you could reinstall it again with -force to change the options.
