This sniplet was written to work within a Powershell app deploy toolkit package.  If you are not familiar with that toolkit, get familiar with it, its a huge time saver. ## <Perform Installation tasks here> Execute-Process -Path “$envSystem32Directory\reg.exe” -Parameters (‘load HKLM\ImportedHive “{0}\Users\Default\NTUSER.dat”‘ -f $envSystemDrive) $bClickDefAction = [byte[]](0x25,0x00,0x53,0x00,0x79,0x00,0x73,0x00,0x74,0x00,0x65,0x00,0x6d,0x00,0x52,0x00,0x6f,0x00,0x6f,0x00,0x74,0x00,0x25,0x00,0x5c,0x00,0x53,0x00,0x79,0x00,0x73,0x00,0x74,0x00,0x65,0x00,0x6d,0x00,0x33,0x00,0x32,0x00,0x5c,0x00,0x72,0x00,0x75,0x00,0x6e,0x00,0x64,0x00,0x6c,0x00,0x6c,0x00,0x33,0x00,0x32,0x00,0x2e,0x00,0x65,0x00,0x78,0x00,0x65,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x63,0x00,0x66,0x00,0x67,0x00,0x6d,0x00,0x67,0x00,0x72,0x00,0x33,0x00,0x32,0x00,0x2e,0x00,0x64,0x00,0x6c,0x00,0x6c,0x00,0x2c,0x00,0x43,0x00,0x4d,0x00,0x5f,0x00,0x52,0x00,0x65,0x00,0x71,0x00,0x75,0x00,0x65,0x00,0x73,0x00,0x74,0x00,0x5f,0x00,0x45,0x00,0x6a,0x00,0x65,0x00,0x63,0x00,0x74,0x00,0x5f,0x00,0x50,0x00,0x43,0x00,0x00,0x00) Set-RegistryKey -Key ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ImportedHive\Control Panel\TabletPC\ButtonMaps\2’ -Name ‘ButtonID’ -Type ‘Dword’… Read More »

Here is a working configuration for importing a “Internet Explorer” tile to the Start screen using the Import-StartLayout PowerShell cmdlet.  This was tested on Win 10 1703.
