The default style and buttons should be stored in HKLM so they settings would be the same for all users of the machine. But they are stored in HKCU. That's fine if the user wanted to override. But I'd like all users to hav ethe same menu style and Start button. (I put back the Windows button they made you take out.) |

If you add the settings to HKLM they will be forced for all users. Read the "Administrative Settings" section in the documentation. |

@BOLDERdesigns, the idea is that per user (HKCU) allows for greater flexibility. You can always enforce settings for all users by simply adding them to HKLM although at present there isn't a GUI to do that. Maybe an elevated settings GUI in a future version could be used to modify settings for all users.

Darn, totally missed the HKLM in docs. Thanks. It would be great to get that button in the GUI to copy. People get fussy, most time people complain and ask why is my login different? Rather than making changes. Microsoft has always ignored the business world where we want detail and consistency and the consumer that wants to "customize" |

Classic Shell 4.0.4 introduces Group Policy support for its own settings. The file, C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\PolicyDefinitions.zip includes the policy definitions. If you have an Active Directory domain, extract the files to %logonserver%\sysvol\%userdnsdomain%\policies\PolicyDefinitions\ or whatever your Group Policy Central Store is. For Local Group Policy, extract them to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions folder. |
