2012 R2 RDS + Metro

[DevilsAdvocate]

Hi all,

 

I'm testing a 2012R2 remote desktop server at the minute and have a question about metro. I've got the 'Apps' part of metro using our redirected start menu and have pinned a few of the important items for staff directly to the 'Start' portion of metro. However I want to add 'Desktop' and the 'My PC' option to the start area. How do I go about doing this!? I've had a look round online and can't seem to find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

you need to copy the file to wherever you have your start menu redirected. copy it from your own profiles start menu

Good luck! If you manage it, let us know how! We tried for a full day on Windows 8.1 - the xml layout (exported with Powershell) which is managed with Group Policy only seems to accept very particular shortcuts. I couldn't get This PC, SIMS.net, many other application shortcuts or system links to show.

For my PC, you need to have the Desktop Experience feature installed.
