[ltsb, 1809] Finally working Start menu XML

[techy32]

Thanks again for your replies, still no joy unfortuantely with even the most lenient of permissions

 

Any luck with redirected start menu? We are also struggling with redirected start menu....... no new short cuts are appearing in windows 10 but old stuff is working....

[BOOT]

Check the values in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

There's values for [start Menu] and [Programs]

Thank you for replying. Where am I looking this value?

We have it working now, not sure what I changed it just seemed to start working. I would go through everything and double check, check permissions and check the shares are accessible etc. Within the share you will need a folder called Programs, and then all of your shortcuts in there. Only .lnk and .url files will show up in your redirected start menu and any folders within folders will not show up. For example if you have an ICT folder with shortcuts in they will show properly on the start menu but if you have ICT>Media the Media folder won't show up and neither will any shortcuts inside.
