Would like to see what generates that file to preserve the layout. Did not have more time for that right now. BTW AppsFolder. So probably no layout there The problem - from my "research" - is the Start Screen lives in the Cloud. And in the public cloud you may say. So it is basically neither a local ressource or a extended networked local ressource in the private cloud or LAN environment. It's extension reaches the public cloud. So why not have API for servicing "Live" Start Screen - to support user of course but a dev thing rather than a sysadm thing?
May be users should control their own layout. Sort of reflecting the old Start Menu - but only flat with highlighted folder or concept names. If a user wants to roam something - he connect with a Microsoft Account and uses "the live" Start Screen - a sort of Start Menu changed into a tiled version of the recently changed desktop taskbar where you can also pin stuff.
The trouble with the old start menu was the sync of something like the apps list. Usually I would turn that off - no roaming or merging of different machines start menus. So its much easier if the user just pins or carry shourtcuts themselves - like with the task bar. Never mind Start Menu or apps list - never sync or merge across machines. I used to clean up that stuff. BTW If a program is not installed on another machine the pin wont show there.
If a user uses his private Microsoft Account he will not se the pin at home for i. Try it out If so An actual Start Screen :o. Bottom line - no need to customize the Start Screen as a sysadm. Sysadm owns the apps list - the local ressource on i. But the welcome screen for business has to be changed from the consumer "welcone" start screen in the default image. However Microsoft could have chosen to automate a bit. Adding custom pins to that like some factory app you would use the unattend files new settings for that.
Pins disappearing and so like supporting users would just require them to go to the apps list and repin. Alike a pin gone from the task bar - you went to the Start Menu apps list to repin.
I've tested the backup and restoration of the appsfolder. I took my file under my user folder, created another local admin account windows 8 Pro RTM.. When i logged in as that user the Start Screen layout was NOT preserved, however, all the shortcut links tiles were there, but a big mess. Groups that I had created were not preserved. Quote 2: appsFolder. The rest i. However, that's just all just an extension of the layout, i. All - both the formal stuff and the actual data - is out of hands currently in the cloud.
You have as much a chance of manipulating that as you would have trying to recompute the layout or do something to the data inside Skydrive or Outlook Hotmail without a proper API.
So basically, when you look at the Start Screen - remember you are looking at something similar to the user interface of i. Not a "first class" local ressource. It's a web service These are the files names I found in mine, curious to know if anyones else's names are slightly different or not.
When I get a chance I will drop these into my unattended install and see if I can't get it to push my custom start screen settings on first boot.
