Right click the Start button -> Help. Look at the Administrative Settings section.
You can lock down specific settings for all users or simply change the defaults for all users without locking them.

Hi, recently I installed Classic Start Menu on Windows Server 2012. I was wondering how I could use one setting for all users, or at least use the same basic template for all Users. Is that possible somehow? |

I work for a college, and we are looking to use Classic Shell for our Win8 machines. I want to make it where all settings made under one account is set for all and locked down so they can not change it. I see above that mugabemkomo said how he did it. Not understanding how he did it though. Could someone explain how to do it? |

Look at the Administrative Settings section in the help. It explains the system and even has pictures. |

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I had this working at one time on another computer, but for some reason I can't make this work anymore. This is a domain joined computer, with the following registry key copied over to local machine, but anytime signing in with a new user all of my custom settings don't come across. I'm running Windows 8.1 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicExplorer] "ShowedToolbar"=dword:00000001 "NewLine"=dword:00000001 "CSettingsDlg"=hex:c8,01,00,00,c2,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,26,08,00,00,\ 00,00,0e,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicExplorer\Settings] "Version"=dword:04000002 "TreeStyle"="Vista" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicShell] "Version"=dword:00009c42 "Path"="C:\\Program Files\\Classic Shell\\" "DefaultLanguage"="" "LastUpdateVersion"=dword:04000002 "LastUpdateTime"=dword:0037376a [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicShell\Settings] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu] "ShowedStyle2"=dword:00000001 "ItemRanks"=hex:48,53,4c,43,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,15,16,80,00,03,00,00,00,eb,\ d3,ce,01,20,f1,44,0d,02,00,00,00,b9,d1,ce,01,7f,4f,ef,2f,03,00,00,00,f3,d3,\ ce,01,74,b8,74,3f,01,00,00,00,b9,d1,ce,01,6b,3e,c4,7e,06,00,00,00,03,d2,ce,\ 01,49,6b,ed,94,01,00,00,00,ee,d1,ce,01,f9,1b,8e,a7,03,00,00,00,b7,d1,ce,01,\ 88,5d,69,b8,01,00,00,00,ef,d1,ce,01,70,fa,6f,c2,04,00,00,00,ff,d1,ce,01,36,\ d4,8f,e3,04,00,00,00,b4,d1,ce,01,16,2c,93,e3,01,00,00,00,b8,d1,ce,01,f5,d5,\ 11,f7,03,00,00,00,df,d1,ce,01 "CSettingsDlg"=hex:c8,01,00,00,90,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,ea,0d,00,00,\ 00,00,00,00 "LastProgramsTime"=hex(b):35,c7,29,e4,f3,d3,ce,01 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\MRU] "0"="C:\\Windows\\regedit.exe" "1"="::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\\0\\::{7B81BE6A-CE2B-4676-A29E-EB907A5126C5}" "2"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\secpol.msc" "3"="C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Nitro Pro 8.lnk" "4"="::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\\0\\::{36EEF7DB-88AD-4E81-AD49-0E313F0C35F8}" "5"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings] "Version"=dword:04000002 "StartButtonType"="CustomButton" "StartButtonPath"="%SystemDrive%\\Win8 Classic Shell\\CVJdp16.png" "SkinW7"="Windows 8" "SkinVariationW7"="" "SkinOptionsW7"="C26EAF5D|5D3248DC|1FC64124|5EA361A2|6EDFA36A|2E838408|22C9A1E2|0663DC39|" "DisableHotCorner"="DisableAll" "SkipMetro"=dword:00000001 |

The settings in HKLM don't go into a Settings sub-key. Use HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu directly. Also the items you currently have in HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu, like "ItemRanks" and "CSettingsDlg" are ignored. They are ONLY per-user. |

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. |
