Perfect!! Thanks Arthur!!

Can someone have a peak this xml as it no longer works - the icons are appearing on the programs list but no tiles are appearing, just the default Win 10 tiles. Any obvious issues? https://pastebin.com/byTLfDuR Thank you!

Thanks this worked during my tests - thank you!!

Still trying to get this working - I've managed to get the "Computer" shortcut working. I have blocked all GPO inheritance and solely just using the policy for the xml start menu. Can you help me with the mapped drive (Q) and Edge shortcuts? Also, what are the recommended way of adding shortcuts to "Log Off" and "Shut Down"? Thanks.

Thank you for your help on this. Would there be any policy blocking the explorer shortcuts from working - Computer, SharedQ, Edge? Have a good weekend!!

Thank you so much for your continued kind help. Finally a breakthrough! I've disabled inheritance - just the student GPO is now enabled and some tiles are missing... Edge, Computer, Shared(Q) So there must be something in the parent GPO causing an issue somewhere.

Permissions - both NTFS and Share permissions are fine with "student" group having read read & execute, list folder contents and read permissions set. The event logs say successful folder redirection - no errors. Feel like we're getting closer but just not close enough. Thanks for your help. These are the event logs..

Okay I've now corrected the redirection options. See here And I've also enabled the start all programs list - all the default Windows programs show but not any of the icons listed in the xml layout. I've tried this under a new student user to ensure its a fresh profile. It appears the icons just aren't being seen from the icons redirection path.

Ah of course - just tried that - still empty...

Thanks so much for your very precise advice and apologies for the basic errors. The start menus is still appearing empty... we don't want the left menu (all programs) tab enabled in the start menu - we only want the tiles enabled. Here is my updated layout https://pastebin.com/9PYhGhVr Empty Start Menu Shortcuts GPO Redirected - - - Updated - - -

Oh of course - I've now amended the layout - see the XML here on Paste Bin https://pastebin.com/AKznSetb Still not getting anything on the start menu.... We don't use roaming profiles. The shortcuts are all in place in the this share - see image below:

Thanks for your help and your layout - very helpful. My layout file is saved in Netlogon and the shortcuts on an icons share. I have now tried this to it's minimum with just drives or Office applications and basically no tiles appear (Chrome was the only one that appeared initially) - I then tried again and now no tiles appear not even the default Windows 10 tiles. Is there any specific gpo that needs enabling / disabling? The custom start menu gpo is already enabled. Here's my layout on Paste Bin - can you see any obvious issues? https://pastebin.com/fXMvm4kn

Still testing this and will try the DesktopApplicationID - also as Stawberry suggests, I need to amend my XML to remove the blank lines and spaces. In the meantime, does anyone have an XML file containing 'This PC' shortcut, a shared network shortcut, Internet Edge and shortcuts to Office 2013? Thanks.

Now corrected. None of the icons appear - see screenshot below.

I've tried this xml based on yours above, ensuring all shortcuts are placed locally rather than the network. When the user logos on, this start menu doesn't apply, just the standard start appears. xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"> Please help!! Thank you.

Thanks Stawberry - I'll do a test now.

What local path did you use to get yours working?

We're attempting to use redirected Start Menus to a network location and then using a layout XML to customise the tile layout. This start menu is for students, we just need a few shortcuts to This PC, Shared drive and a few Microsoft apps... However not all shortcuts are appearing just Edge. We have re-saved the xml file to give it a new timestamp too. This is the xml file... xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification" xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout" xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout" xmlns:taskbar="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/TaskbarLayout" Version="1"> Thanks for your help.

I'd like users to be able to access the proxy settings within the settings app in Windows 10. Is there a GPO in which will give users this access? Users of Windows 7 are able to access the same settings without issues. I have downloaded the AMX templates for Edge but there are no such settings. Thank you in advance.

I've just tried version 10.4 and the issue is still there. When a user group has been selected to write "none" to a folder in the hapconfig file, the users are still able to delete and upload. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

Nick - thank you! I'll try the v10.4. fairm010 - thank you also for your input.

Yup that's what I thought but think the deny permission may take precedence over the write permission in the other security group. Will give it a go - thank you.

How would that affect these users within the school network? I want the same security group to allow write in school (on the network) but not write on HAP (away from school).

My drive mapping looks like this: \\servername\common

Firstly thanks Nick for a wonderful product. I have HAP+ installed in a couple of schools, running on IIS7 version 10 and although everything works well, I'm trying to restrict user groups from writing to specific folders. I'd like to students not to write to a folder. I've simply added 'None' on 'Enable Write to' in the setup page however whenever the user logons, the option to right click edit and upload files is still there. This option worked in v7 and it was how I had it setup. Thanks in advance.
