Customizing Start Screen and Apps Screen

Hi!
I'm trying to make a default Startscreen that all users will get when they logon to the terminalserver. I have all the shortcuts and i've grouped them With names. My enviorment is all Win 2012 R2, RDS is configured from a standard Microsoft guide.
We use UPD With the following settings
Includes Roaming and Registry + \appdata\local\micrsosoft\windows
My latest attemt to solve the problem includes
1. Log in With a admin on the terminal server, manually configuring the start screen.
2. copy the file \"admin user"\appdata\local\Microsoft\Windows\appsfolder.itemdata-ms to same location in Default (user)
3. strip away all Write Access to the file, so only read is left. i also do this to the file in the other user account (admin user) so all appsfolder.itemdata-ms files on the computer is Read only, even for system.
4. then i check my UPD share, and delete all files exept the template.
5. log on With a normal user via rdweb, a New upd is created and my startscreen is "Windows default"
6 i check the itemdata file in the UPD and see it has a different size.
So my questions is.
1. where is that file generated from? does it generate from the Upd template file (witsh seems empty then mounted)?
if i knew how and of what this UPD is made up of, maby i could understand better. Or if there are files copied in to the UPD upon logon to the TS, and from what profile would that be? Default?, "admin user", All users?, Programdata?, default
user? whis is blackmagic to me ;)
2. Is there a solution for this? i've red som many diffrent ways of doing this but have'nt succeeded.
Best Regards

  • Capturing a reference machine Start screen and Apps are blank

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having troubles with the start screen and app screen when deploying a Windows 8.1 image with SCCM 2012 R1.
    While building the image, I've tried with both OOBE and not.  Installed all the drivers, and base software.
    Capturing works fine, I created a bootable capture disc via SCCM.  
    Without OOBE 
    When I deploy the image, logging in locally, works fine, all tiles and apps show up like normal, but when I join the computer to the domain, logging in as any domain user (they're administrators as well) all the tiles and apps disappear
    With OOBE
    No tiles show up, not even as local admin.
    I've read a few articles, and a lot of others are having the same problem, and their only fix is to use ImageX or MDT.   I'm wondering if this has been resolved yet as I rather use SCCM 2012 as the "all in one" tool that it's meant to be.

    This version does not exist. Is it SP1? Which CU?
    Keep in mind that you have to have SP1 CU3 in order to use Win8.1:

  • Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown

    Downloaded photoshop elements 12, installed ok and activated, started it and splash screen displayed and app launched then shutdown immediately.
    Repeat and crashes again. Help it won't start!

    Solved! Tried everything in the support documents and none of it worked. Massive frustration with Adobe Chat staff who know nothing and just kept telling me to look at the support documents over and over. They also gave me a contact number in Australia that has a recorde d message saying the product is not supported! What is that about?
    Finally Anand from Adobe tech support called me (from when I reopened the original support case that gave me the serial number).
    Just had to rename folder SLCache in c:\program files(x86) and reaccept the EULA and reactive. Now everything works fine. Way to hard.

  • HT1455 imac wont start up and grey screen with spinning wheel appears

    See this Apple note on steps to take.

  • 20" imac won't start up-flashes between blank grey screen and black screen

    20" imac
    2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Was running system 10.5.8 just fine. Worked great.
    But then I wanted to give the imac to a relative. And so, I tried to boot from the original grey mac install dvd to wipe the hardrive and set the imac back to factory specs.
    But it wouldn't boot off the dvd. All It would do at restart was to flash slowly back and forth between blank grey screen and black screen. So, I tried the Leopard update dvd. Same results. So I zapped the pram and tried again. Same results.
    If I just pushed the start button tho.. the imac would start right up and run fine. However, I didn't want to give it to someone else with all our information on it.
    I finally restarted it and held the "T" key to turn it into a giant firewire drive, hooked it up to our other 20" imac, and used the disk utility from the second imac to erase the drive of the first imac. Then I inserted the grey install dvd into the second imac and selected the drive of the first imac and ran the install process.
    Now, the first imac won't start up at all. Just a continual grey screen for a bit, than a couple of buzz sounds in the machine and then the black screen... than back again.
    It ran great before I erased the drive and re-installed OS 10.5
    What's wrong? How do I get the machine to either boot off the install cd?

    So, I've figured out a little more on the first machine. It's a 20" 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.8.
    It ran great. But, I wanted to erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS system before giving it to a relative.
    I found that although the optical drive would read and write to normal cds and dvds, the machine would NOT boot from the grey start-up disks I had on hand. ( I have two imacs, and I tried both sets of dvds without success.)
    I zapped the PRAM, and used disk utilities via firewire connection from my other 20" imac to check the hardrive and make repairs. Disk Utilities couldn't find any problems. So, using disk utilities from the other imac, I erased the first imac's harddrive and then used the install dvds on the second imac to install the original OS to the hard drive of the first imac.
    (looking on the hard drive of the first imac, I can see all the contents)
    However, the first machine will not start up. It just switches from grey....to black..... then grey..... and then black again.... over and over
    Why won't it boot from the newly installed OS on it's own hard drive?
    And Why won't it boot from the original install dvds?
    How can I get it to start up again?

  • Difference between modal screen and normal screen

    Hi everyone,
      Now,I am developing a dypro. when I create a modal screen ,I found no difference between normal screen and modal screen.
      eg. If I use the statement "call screen" , whatever which type of screen you use, the results look like the same. The same to the statement "call screen start at end at".

    Hi
    Screen type for modal dialog box
    If you activate this attribute, the screen is used as a modal dialog box. In the program, you call the screen with
    CALL SCREEN  STARTING AT  <top left>
                 ENDING   AT  <bottom right>.
    Unlike normal pop-ups, a modal dialog box has its own pushbuttons and title. There is no menu bar and command field entries are not possible.
    Normal screen type
    If you activate this attribute, the screen is flagged as a normal screen. This is the default setting.
    Alternatively, it may have the following special functions:
    Subscreen
    Modal dialog box
    Selection screen
    Class screen
    In the Screen Painter, you can choose between normal, subscreen, and modal dialog box.
    Selection screen and class screen attributes are assigned by the system.

  • Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot?

    Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot? I would like to replace a green screen with one image, and a blue screen with another.

    Fox gives a good example for keying green & blue (or any other color)  from the same shot. I'd suggest doing a few things to get better accuracy.
    First, the motion keyer always removes the color it detects the most of by default (blue/green). You can override this by setting the Strength parameter to zero, then use the Color sample tool to select the color you want. The advantage is motion will do a good job of targeting only the hue (color) that you want to remove and set an appropriate starting softness.  It also will remove spill based on this color.  Looking at Fox's example movie and the shot, I'd approach the same shot this way:
    Remove the Blue
    1. Apply the keyer and set the strength to zero.
    2. Use the Sample Color tool and select the blue (or other color) to be removed.
    3. Decrease the spill level (if needed). In Fox's example the spill from the blue glasses is going to be minimal, especially compared to the green screen, your shot may need different adjustments. Only de-spilling what you need to will give you more accurate color right away and minimize additional color correction that might be needed later.
    4. Use the Color selection tools (Chroma wheel/Luma bar) to fine tune.  Ideally you want a minimal tolerance, the inner selection, with a nice fall off, the outer selection. Try with the Scrub boxes setting first, then switch to manual if you need more control. Again see Fox's example.
    Remove Green
    It's the same as the blue, you could apply the keyed to the same clip or a parent group, at this point it's many user preference.
    With these techniques you can remove any color from a shot or create a mask based on a color. BTW, as you are learning to use the keyer I'd highly recommend  having the Color Selection open so you can see the graphs.  These give you real time feedback as you make selections and changes with the Strength, Refine and Color selection tools.  Watch what happens as you make selection or changes, sometimes the problem area is actually in the brightness not the color, or the softness may change  more than the tolerance selection.  Observing what is happening in these graphs will help you figure out wha to change and speed things up.

    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    Hi beginner_2012,
    Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you.
    I grasp that you were getting the error "display driver amd driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" quite often.  Then a  few days later you got the blue screen then the above error message, after 2 -3 more errors the screen is now blank or black. Here is a document to assist you with this.  Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot.

  • Call screen and set screen

    hi experts ,
    whts the practical diff b/.w call screen and set screen in module pool?

    Call Screen: Calling a single screen can be used for embedding a screen sequence. If you want to prevent the called screen from covering the current screen completely (say u want 2 display both screen) you can use the CALL SCREEN statement with the STARTING AT and ENDING AT
    CALL SCREEN 500
    If we write this statement in screen 100 ,it will goto screen 500 and it will retain screen 100(ie u can come back)
    and moreover u have options using this
    CALL SCREEN 200 STARTING AT x1 y1 ENDING AT x2 y2
    If we use set screen first the processing blocks in the present screen will be executed and control goes to the screen which is called.
    in this control remains in that calling screen only, it doesnt come back to our screen.
    In screen 100,we call screen 500.The PBO and PAI of screen 500 is processed.Now in screen 500,if we use leave to screen 100,the processing starts from screen 100 after the call screen 500 statement.The PBO and the PAI of screen 100 need not be processed again from the beginning in this case.
    That is if we use leave to screen,the control goes back to the screen from which the present screen was called and continues with the processing.
    SET SCREEN 500
    With the above statement , it will goto screen 500 and screen 100 no more remains
    Screen No 0 : This special screen number causes the screen to jump back to the calling screen.
    set screen 0 used to go back to the previous screen.

    Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
    If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Depends on the damage. The battery came loose in my iPhone. When Apple opened the phone to redo the glue they discovered the speakers were also loose. Apple replaced the phone.
    If the glue was properly bonded or had some other flaw Apple will replace the device if the device is still under warranty.
