I have a few Windows 8.1 computers. They are joined to a domain, and will be shared among multiple users. I want to provide a default arrangement for the tiles on the Windows 8 start menu.
I know I can do this through group policy, but that locks the arrangement in place; it becomes mandatory, rather than simply the default or original layout for each profile. I only want to provide a default that users can change later.
I also want to include a shortcut that I made myself in this layout, and it needs to include an item that's based on network access that is not available to the local administrator account.
How can I get a start menu layout that accomplishes all this?
