Hi,
I would like to start a discussion on Windows 8.1 and the start menu. Windows 8.1 brought with it some changes however as far as I am concerned it is still far from what is needed with regards to management of the start menu.
The example I put to you is:
SOE has been developed and deployed. Start menu has been configured through copyprofile in the answer file. I now want to add a new title to the start menu which is a shortcut to an internet page as an example.
Now the issue I have with this is I know it can be done via GP and making use of the new Windows 8.1 options however this locks down the start menu. I still want users to be able to edit it. As I see it there is no way for this to be done.
I am now trying a work around where by creating a basic MSI program that simple installs a "shortcut" (Yet to be tested) but I was wanting to know if anyone else has this problem.
This is the only reason I am not moving ahead with company wide upgrade.
