Customizing the Start Screen
Customizing the Start Screen involves the arrangement of the tiles on the screen and grouping them into logical sections
and alternatively naming those sections. You do this by simply dragging the tiles into the desired location on the screen,
resizing them, or any other action that configures the screen any way you like. These customizations are stored in the
local Administrator profile and will be captured as-is during the deployment process, which is described in the
Testing
the Image section later in this chapter.
It is a best practice, as discussed in the Considerations for Images section in Chapter 2 , to not install apps on the
reference system. The guidance is to install apps during deployment, which is covered in Chapter 5 . However, you can
still customize Start Screen tiles for apps that are not yet installed.
This is done by copying the layout of the Start Screen from a computer that does have the apps installed using a
template. A template stores the layout of the tiles, but does not install the apps. Figure 4.18 shows the Start Screen
before customization.
