I'm creating an unattended installation of Windows 7 and like to customize the start menu programmatically. The goal is a minimalistic start menu with only "All applications" and perhaps a pinned program link.
Is this scriptable using powershell (or perhaps wsh)? And is it possible to change this on the default user template so that new users inherit these changes? Code samples or documentation regarding this would be nice.
Summary of changes I'd like to make:
- Change privacy settings "store recently opened programs" (and items)
- Don't display...
- Control panel.
- Connect to.
- Etc
- Pin program to start menu
