I've been trying for a little bit now to configure a RDP connection that will 
auto-launch a web browser (in my example Edge) and have that browser open to a 
URL of my choosing. This URL could be different based on needs, and simply 
setting the homepage is not sufficient.

Edge (and most other browsers) will accept a CLI argument of the URL to 
navigate to, and this works perfectly fine when testing on the target machine 
via command prompt. However, when I try entering that value into the 
"initial-program" field in the connection, it fails to launch the browser at 
all. I've seen this behavior with the initial-program argument on Windows 10, 
Windows Server, and Ubuntu with XRDP servers (with Firefox as the browser). 
I've also tried with Windows Terminal Services and publishing Edge as a 
RemoteApp. I set the RemoteApp to "||msedge" and trying to put a URL in the 
RemoteApp parameters field does not work. The browser also fails to launch.

Has anyone successfully configured something like this? I would love to see a 
working example.

I have validated this behavior with several versions from 1.0 all the way up to 
1.4. It seems to be consistent across several versions of guacamole.
