Limit start screen box in Win 8.1

Wanna ask, is there a way that I can limit the start screen for just appearing below box when I click on the start button in win 8.1? I would like to just appear the IE, Store, File Explorer, One Drive and Desktop. Because now, each time after finish formatting
using my Win 8.1 TS, it will appear all of the start screen box. I would like to limit just appear below boxes.

I've got below unattend.xml from our support team and tried to implement it in my TS but there seems to be error during the setting up of the OS. Not sure what causes it.
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]. The settings specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]
What I did was created an empty package with no program which will just refer to the source file. Then include the package into my TS under the Apply Operating System task as below

  • Limited functionality in Win 8.1 Start Screen when using Server 2012 GPO

    I'm testing Windows 8.1 EE with Server 2012 for a school where I need to configure a common layout that users are unable to change. So, I have configured a start layout and exported it via Powershell to the server and it works fine across my various test
    user ids apart from a couple of things.
    If I create tiles on the start screen which point to specific websites such as Scratch, they only work on the user I exported the start layout from - they don't appear on other user start screens under the same GPO. I can get round this by creating a desktop
    shortcut in the GPO under User Config/Prefs/Win settings/shortcuts. It's a bit crude but it works so if there is a straightforward way of creating tiles that do this I'd prefer that..
    The other challenge is getting a documents tile on the start screen. I'm using roaming profiles and folder redirection as pupils could log onto any machine and once again, I can set this up and export the start layout to the server but only the user whose
    start screen I exported gets the documents folder on their start screen when the GPO is applied. The other users just get a blank space. I guess when I create the tile it's pointing to the specific users folder on the server which other users won't have access
    to so it needs to pick up the specific username of whoever is logged on...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated... Thanks

    Hi,
    Please make sure that the .xml file with the Start screen layout must be located on shared network storage that is available to the users’ computers when they sign in (the users must have Read-only access to the file). If the
    file is not available at sign-in, the Start screen is not customized during the session, and the user can make changes to the Start screen.
    After you use Group Policy to import a customized Start screen layout on a computer or in a domain, you can update the layout simply by replacing the .xml file that is specified in the Start Screen Layout policy settings.
    To change the Start screen layout imported by Start Screen Layout policy settings
    Customize the Start screen on your test computer the way that you want it to look for users.
    Run the Export-StartLayout cmdlet, with the following format, to export the new Start screen layout to an .xml file that overwrites the original file:
    export-startlayout –path <path><file name>.xml -as xml
    That’s all you need to do. The next time the users sign in to their computers, the GPO will import the new Start screen layout.

  • No Start Screen

    I installed Windows 10 TP on my laptop. I wanted to use the start screen, but there is not such option. When I right-click the task bar, then choose properties/start menu, there is no box at the top to switch from start menu to start screen as others are
    talking about. Did Win 10 tp not install correctly or why is that box not there for me?

    Hi I would like start by stating I have never felt the need to interject before but this new system is a massive step back from Windows 8.1 and the earlier versions of windows 10 preview as far as the start screen goes. The previous tick box was crude in
    some regards but a good start (hopefully would have become a smoother experience with continuum and / or just the tablet mode selection). The new idea of just expand the start menu is horrible for the following reasons:
    1.)The places and all apps options are far to fiddly for all but the biggest of tablet screens
    2.)Vertical scrolling is horrible compared to horizontal and just feels like a mess with multiple monitors
    3.)The still present taskbar suffers from the same while pointlessly taking up screen area
    4.)Let’s face it trying to click that little expand button on a 8” tablet is going to be a nightmare
    5.)The drag and close feature for apps is going to be massively missed on tablets
    6.)Keyboard and mouse isn’t going away nor is touchscreen the previous version of 10 had got the right idea this new version just looks like it’s turned its back on tablet features and given desktop users an expand option
    Sorry this is a bit rushed but I just can’t see the expanded start menu as a good idea in any way shape or form. If anyone knows how to bring back these features (preferably via group policy) then please let me know

  • How do I Install LabVIEW on Windows 8 without destroying my Start screen?

    I recently upgrdaded my computer and am running Windows 8 now.  I know lots of people will tell me that this was a terrible idea, but it is what it is.  I am actually liking the new start screen once I spent some time getting used to it.  It works well once you customize it to your needs.  Anyway, the problem that I am having, is that when you install NI software (LabVIEW, TestStand, Toolkits, and drivers), about 100 things are added to your start screen.  See "Screenshot 1.png" to see what I am talking about.  
    My immediate fix was to edit the start menu folder and put everything that I don't need in folder in "My Documents" - called "National Instruments Shortcuts".  Then I just put a shortcut to this folder in my start menu directory.  This gives me the result shown in "Screenshot 2.png".  But my worry is that when NI sends you an update every 6 months and you install, it is going to put everything back.  
    I am guessing that I am at the mercy of NI to become more Windows 8 friendly.  But maybe somebody here has a better idea?

    If a LabVIEW bug is exposed to my customers, I can't just blame it on NI - I have to implement some sort of workaround to hide the bug from my customers so that they don't know its there. 
    For me that depends on many factors, like the severity of the issue and the relationship with the customer.  Plenty of times I do inform the customer of a LabVIEW bug.  If DAQmx craps out after running for a long time (and NI agrees) I'll do what I can to avoid it, but having a customer think it is my fault when it isn't, is no solution.
    Back to the original post I'd highly recommend what others probably already have and that's Classic Shell.  I combine this with DisplayFusion and my Windows 8.1 box works just like Windows 7.  I've only ever seen the new start once, and that was right after the install, right before installing those two tools.

  • Source Safe causing LabVIEW Quick Start Screen to not appear after closing open vi windows?

    Hey All,
    We've recently implemented Source Safe version control for LabVIEW on XP and I've noticed that LabVIEW is hanging between closing open vi windows and showing the Quick Start Screen.  The usual pattern is for the Quick Start window to appear after the last open vi window is closed.  Instead the vi window is closed, the tab at the bottom of the screen says debug development and the Quick Start Screen does not appear, the tab does not read "Getting Started."
    I think it is a LabVIEW <--> Source Safe issue when I do a Task Manager Exit on the LabVIEW process that I sometimes see a dialog box asking if I want to save changes in memory to disc and those files are not checked out.  But it is too late at that point to do anything as XP clobbers the application before I can do anything.
    Anyone else have this issue?
    Message Edited by Drewski on 05-30-2008 02:28 PM

    What LabVIEW version do you use?
    I have used SourceSafe in every version from 8.0, and in the way some bugs are resolved.

  • How to unpin default apps from the Start Screen using vbscript

    Hi,
    I am looking for a way to programmatically unpin apps using vbscript from the Windows 8 Start Screen. I need to unpin SkyDrive, People, Calendar and messaging. I have been searching for a couple of days but I'm coming up with nothing so far.
    I know how to pin my own choices of installed apps using vbscript but I can't figure out how to unpin the default apps.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Some thoughts:
    I started to investigate the many ways to manage the Metro start menu.  There are APIs but none are exposed to batch or VBScript.
    1.  Programs are installed into the 'All User' start menu, defult users profile start menu and a set of global links can be defined for metro.  THis is almost identical to ll previous versions except for the linking process which sets up the defaults. 
    If we install Office 20133 it will, if we choose, show up in all user start menu.  Each user can then unpin this. 
    2. There is a file (binary) that keeps track of the Metro settings.  It seems to only be changeable via the API or by using the shell 'pin/unpin' verbs.
    3.  This behavior I identical to XP and other systems with the exception of how it is stored and in that you cannot remove items from the sztart menu prior to Windows 8.
    4. The default user profile can be customized and stored on the network so that it affects every system.
    5. The "All Users" 'profile' can only be customized after a program is installed or by altering the programs installer.
    What you are trying to do runs counter to all Windows design since the first version of Windows.  We have NEVER been able to alter the start menu from script in such a way that a user could just add the item back in.  Your request seems to be incongruous
    to the design of Windows.
    Now don't get me wrong.  What you are asking is partially possible but you need to alter the Windows image so that the All users profile does not propagate the shortcuts.  You can do this by just deleting them.  You need to delete them before
    a user account is generated on the box. Delete them in the image. You can do this with MDT.  The shortcuts will not propagate to the user.  The user can still search for an app and add it to the start menu.
    There may be a better way to set this up but I cannot see how without using the API.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Windows 8, set default application for example adobe reader, customize the start screen

    I have two questions, Im going to deploy Windows 8 to our company, but have 2 big issues.
    1) I need to customize the start screen, but cant find anywhere in the gpo´s? How can I do this without sysprepping etc (deploying with SCCM2012 SP1)
    2) I need to set the default programs for adobe reader, mspaint etc, how can I do this? It doesnt work with the GPP and folder options, anyone have done this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    the following steps to configure the GPO setting.
    To create a new Open With preference item
    Open the
    Group Policy Management Console. Right-click the Group Policy object (GPO) that should contain the new preference item, and then click
    Edit.
    In the console tree under
    User Configuration, expand the Preferences folder, and then expand the
    Control Panel Settings folder.
    Right-click the
    Folder Options node, point to New, and select
    Open With.
    In the
    New Open With Properties dialog box, select an Action for  Group Policy to perform.
    Enter Open With settings for Group Policy to configure or remove.
    Click the
    Common tab, configure any options, and then type your comments in the
    Description box.
    Click
    OK. The new preference item appears in the details pane.
    For details, please refer to the following article.

  • [Forum FAQ] Go to Start Screen/Desktop when closing Windows Store App

    After install Windows 8.1 Update 1, you will notice these things set by default even on touchscreen laptops and desktops:
    Windows 8.1 now boots directly to the desktop.
    Closing Windows Store Apps and go to desktop instead of Start Screen.
    Besides option “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” since Windows 8, another new option in Taskbar Properties “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is used to control closing app behavior.
    Features of "Show Windows Store app on taskbar" 
    When the setting is checked, all of the Windows Store apps that are currently running will display on taskbar. You can easily switch between Windows Store apps and your desktop and its applications through the taskbar. For mouse users,
    you can also access the taskbar within a Windows Store app. Just move the mouse cursor to the button of the screen, the taskbar pops up.
    When the setting is unchecked,
    Windows Store apps have no minimize button, only Close button
    Windows Store apps that are open are not visible on Taskbar
    Windows Store apps can still be pinned to the taskbar
    How do these two options work for closing app behavior?
    Modern app and Taskbar   setting
    OFF
    ON
    Boot   to desktop setting
    OFF
    Close goes to Start
    Close reveals the   app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
    ON
    Close goes to desktop
    Close reveals the   app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
    Know why “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” does not work when “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is checked on
    As MironV mentioned in the
    thread, Windows 8.1 Update is designed to introduce a number of changes for mouse and keyboard users that would help them use and switch between Windows Store apps alongside their familiar desktop applications. A lot of these changes only made sense when
    combined together, so they are toggled by one setting, which is “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar.” This is usually enabled together with the first setting as a complimentary set of improvements for desktop users. When the setting is enabled, Windows
    Store apps are intended to feel more like regular maximized applications living on the desktop, though they are full screen only. For example, when you launch apps from Start, they appear on the taskbar until they are closed. You can also minimize them or
    switch between them by invoking the taskbar.
    Please understand that unchecking the “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" setting has no effect on close and minimize behavior when the “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar” setting is checked, since
    they are controlling two independent things. If you tend to use only one Windows Store app at a given time, it may seem like we’re not respecting the setting by going to the desktop.
    Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

    I don't know if I'm the only one, but on my desktop (using mouse and keyboard only) I like to have my Start screen as my main screen.  To ensure this I made sure to uncheck the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop" box and
    check the "Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows Logo key" box. I also really like having the task bar appear at the bottom even when I'm using a modern app.  Based on the settings I've chosen (i.e., boxes I've checked or not checked),
    I would expect to be taken back to the start screen and not the desktop whenever I close an app.  From what I've read from your response and from others in this thread, in order to accomplish this function (i.e., closing an app and going directly to the
    start screen) I need to uncheck the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" setting.  By doing this I get the functionality I was looking for when the apps are closed and I get sent to the start screen.  However, I am now not able to see the taskbar
    when I'm in a modern app or when I'm on the start screen.  This seems counterintuitive/confusing as many have mentioned.  Not to mention it creates an additional step for users to get back to the Start screen.
    All I want to do is (1) use my start screen as my main screen, (2) see the taskbar when running whatever app I'm using (e.g., modern), and (3) go back to my start screen (and not the desktop) when I close an app.  It would only make sense that I should
    get these results if I leave the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" box checked and the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" box unchecked; but unfortunately this is NOT the case.  I really hope that
    an update fixing this is coming sooner rather than later because this is really annoying.

  • How do you either set "Show More Tiles" or Start Screen rows via command line or script for Windows 8.1?

    Is there a method to change the Start Screens number of rows (similar to Windows 8.0's use of the Explorer\Scaling\MonitorSize in registry). Possibly by forcing the switch for "Show More Tiles" via script etc? This is to enable the device with
    Windows 8.1 to be built using a deployment methodology like SCCM and have the Tiles correctly configured as required for a standard look and feel across devices. I do not know why all these switches are not represented in either WMI or the registry to enable
    the customization of look and feel out of the box for enterprise deployments.
    Thanks for any assistance possible.

  • Get back to start screen in Google maps

    Is there a way to get back to the map start screen to look for a new location?
    I think I might have found it, I kept tapping on the up and down arrows in the left hand corner and it sent me back with my last entry (grocery) that I had to delete.
    MacBookcore duo, iMac G5, iPhone, Mac Mini 1.42   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   PowerMac 7100 (8.1) Apple IIe, SE, SI

    I have this question also. Once I go into Route mode, everything I do keeps it in Route mode. If I click on the map itself as the previous poster said, I still get the Start and End input boxes, with to Cancel. All I can do at that point is set up different routes. The only way I've found to get out of this mode is to go to Phone Contacts and select a new address from there.
    This seems like a bug.

  • Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro - Start Screen Layout Deployment GPO

    We have recently finished signing our Microsoft Customer License Agreement (CLA) for reselling Windows on a diagnostic tool for our industry. We developed our software with Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro from an MSDN source. Installed from MSDN, configured,

    Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro OPK from Microsoft Ireland and recreated our setup. So far all but one function works as expected. We are finding that we are unable to modify the Start Screen Layout via XML file or any other method as we did with the MSDN setup.
    I have reviewed HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion for build and product ID information to find the MSDN install and the OPK install both show the same information other than install date. The DigitalIDs are different though.
    We needed the Embedded version for the Unified Write Filter and after being able to modify the start screen layout with our MSDN copy all looked great. After not being able to modify the start screen layout with our official OPK copy of 8.1 we've done additional
    searching to find: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/71f0be7a-43af-4ca3-a068-f99b92217e2a/windows-81-start-screen-layout-gpo?forum=w81previtpro Which plainly says that 8.1 PRO is NOT able to do this.
    Is this correct?
    If so why might our MSDN installation have worked while the OPK installation does not?
    Why wouldn't an EMBEDDED INDUSTRY PRO version not allow for such a simple function? People using this version I would image would require the most flexibility and customizable options versus another, no?
    If this advanced and highly modifiable version of 8.1 pro cannot do this then how might it be recommended to accomplish this goal?
    Please help as this may soon push our development out much further.
    Thanks in advance,
    Joey

    Hi HVACjoe
    For general system start screen control is supported in the Windows 8.1 Enterprise operating system, the Windows RT 8.1 operating system with sideloading enabled, and in all editions of the Windows Server
    2012 R2 operating system. Start screen control is not supported in the Windows 8.1 Pro operating system.
    As Tripredacus mentioned that Windows Embedded support is not typically handled on the public forums and Microsoft Developer Network distributes special editions of Windows for testing and development purposes, those are not general purpose licenses and
    the validity of the key has a time limit, we could not access resources from MSDN for test.
    We suggest you look for help from your Embedded Partner or MSDN forum

  • IPhone 3G on Apple stuck start screen

    Hello,
    My iPhone (new out of the box today) has frozen on the Apple start screen after I connected it to iTunes. I updated the software and it restarted but got no further than this screen. It will switch off if I hold the home button and iTunes recognises it after it has been connected for a few minutes. I have restored it since and it is still acting the same.
    The battery wasn't flat when I connected it and this is the first time I have plugged it into my Mac.
    Thanks in advance for your solutions and help, Lauren.

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • Create Limit Item Screen

    Hi All:
    We wanted to hide a few fields on the "create limit item screen". Is this possible through SHD0 or by using any other BADI Available. Also is there a standard configuration to default the radio button of account assignment from unknown to known??
    Any suggestions are welcome
    Thanks
    Sundeep

    Hi Sundeep,
    Screen variants: to change item overview and search result screens.
    BADI: there is one BADI to hide/show some SC item creation links, there is one BADI to control screen details of PO, CTR... but not SC (and not external screens).
    So, as usual, identify the template and change the HTML code in SE80.
    To implement a more complex logic, like the default check box, change the ABAP code (usually in the PBO).
    Rgds
