Post subject:  SkipMetro for allusers - Windows 8.1
Hi!

We tested some settings to deploy predefinied settings to all users.
Everything worked fine, but we got some Problems with "SkipMetro" Setting.

While this seems to be a userdefined setting in windows 8.1, win8.1 does not recognize this setting.

Is it possible to force the Metroskip for allusers with a regkey in HKLM or is it only possible with a hkcu setting?

Even if i create a cs-regkey for hkcu, it will only be recognized, after the user opens the taskbarproperties and set the setting 1 time (on/off again). They are not part of the hkcu reg till the user edit this settings.

How do you force the skipMetro-settings with classicshell? I could create a gpo with the hkcu StartPage DWORD for all users, but i would like to configure this with classicshell.

On Windows 8.1 the "skip metro screen" setting simply controls the OS setting. It is not stored in the Classic Shell registry.
I am considering changing that for a future version and make it an independent setting.
