Post subject:  Installation Questions

I have another much more technical question open elsewhere, but I think this is sufficiently different to warrant a new question.

I'm trying to sort out Classic Shell start menu and I'm nearly there, but I can't see how to make some of the changes I need.

Basically wherever a change needs to be made in the registry it seems that I cannot make it because of the fact that I have classic shell installed on 2 Terminal servers with clients logging in from thin clients.

This means that the settings for Classic shell are all pulled from group policy on the domain controller (a different machine that I don't want classic shell installed on) as we have been unable to get the clients to take their settings from the RDS servers themselves.

This means that I basically don't have a registry to make the registry changes on?

I can't be the only person to be running Classic Shell in an RDS 2012 environment, how is everyone else doing it?

Maybe this might help: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1030 That was before Group Policy support was introduced.

Thanks Gaurav, I have read the post you've linked and whilst I can see what they're saying, I don't have a completed registry to copy the settings from

Is there a list somewhere of all the registry commands that can be used.
For example, I need to stop users being able to right click on the start button and exit from classic shell / open classic shell configuration but there seems to be neither a Group Policy object nor any other easy way of doing that.

There should be a group policy named "Enable Exit".

When you use the Settings GUI to change any setting from the default, a Registry value gets created in HKCU branch for it. So you can configure it from the GUI exactly how you want it. That'll create all the necessary Registry values.
