Default Customise Start Menu MRU

Hi All,

I've successfully created a Windows XPe image, which although was
quite time consuming was painless enough! However, I want to remove
the "All Programs" Start Menu item, and instead offer the three
possible programs which are deployed as part of the image as entries
on the most recently used programs list.

Is there a way this can be done?

The program items will successfully appear in the MRU list after they
have been run for the first time, but to do this the "All Programs"
item must be available to reach them in their standard start menu
group.

An alternative is to force the shortcuts to be "pinned" to the Start
Menu.

Thank you for any help,

- Graham

Graham,

First, you want to remove "Standard Start Menu Shortcut" component from your project in TD.
Then you can add you own shortcuts via a Shortcut entry of your own component you create in CD.

Default Re: Customise Start Menu MRU

Forgot to answer the question about MRU.

IIRC< that user info is stored under [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\UserAssist] key.
So, what you may want to try out is to set up the image's Start Menu look&feel as you'd want it to and then grab the key content and
plug it in the TD project. Just make sure to apply it to the right user account (perhaps you would want it to be added to the user
reg.hive at run time during FBA).
