# Use Shell Launcher to create a Windows client kiosk
Using Shell Launcher, you can configure a device that runs an application as the user interface, replacing the default shell (explorer.exe). In **Shell Launcher v1**, available in Windows client, you can only specify a Windows desktop application as the replacement shell. In **Shell Launcher v2**, available in Windows 10 version 1809+ / Windows 11, you can also specify a UWP app as the replacement shell. To use **Shell Launcher v2** in Windows 10 version 1809, you need to install the [KB4551853](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4551853) update.
Shell Launcher is a Windows feature that can enable a device to execute an application as the user interface, replacing the default shell (`explorer.exe`).
>[!NOTE]
>Shell Launcher controls which application the user sees as the shell after sign-in. It does not prevent the user from accessing other desktop applications and system components.

title: Configure Start menu

# Configure Start menu
To configure the Windows Start menu in your organization, you can use one of the following options:
- Configuration Service Provider (CSP): this option is commonly used for devices managed by a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution, like Microsoft Intune. The [Policy CSP][WIN-1] is used to configure Start, and to report the status of its configuration to the MDM solution
- Group policy (GPO): this option can be used for devices that are joined to an Active Directory domain and aren't managed by a device management solution. Group policy can also be used for devices that aren't joined to an Active Directory domain, using the local group policy editor
## Start policy settings
This section describes the policy settings to configure Start via configuration service provider (CSP) and group policy (GPO).
### Policy settings list
The list of settings is sorted alphabetically and organized in two categories:
- **Common settings**:
- **Other**:

On Windows 10 for desktop editions, the customized Start works by:
- Windows 10 checks the chosen base default layout, such as the desktop edition and whether Cortana is supported for the country/region.
- Windows 10 reads the LayoutModification.xml file and allows groups to be appended to Start. The groups have the following constraints:
- Two groups that are six columns wide, or equivalent to the width of three medium tiles.
- Two medium-sized tile rows in height. Windows 10 ignores any tiles that are pinned beyond the second row.
- No limit to the number of apps that can be pinned. There's a theoretical limit of 24 tiles per group (four small tiles per medium square x 3 columns x 2 rows).

## LayoutModification XML
IT admins can provision the Start layout using a LayoutModification.xml file. This file supports several mechanisms to modify or replace the default Start layout and its tiles. The easiest method for creating a LayoutModification.xml file is by using the Export-StartLayout cmdlet; see [Customize and export Start layout](customize-and-export-start-layout.md) for instructions.

New devices running Windows 10 for desktop editions will default to a Start menu with two columns of tiles unless boot to tablet mode is enabled. Devices with screens that are under 10" have boot to tablet mode enabled by default. For these devices, users see the full screen Start on the desktop. You can adjust the following features:
- Boot to tablet mode can be set on or off.
- Set full screen Start on desktop to on or off.
To do this, add the LayoutOptions element in your LayoutModification.xml file and set the FullScreenStart attribute to true or false.
- Specify the number of columns in the Start menu to 1 or 2.

You can also use the **start:DesktopApplicationTile** tag as one of the methods for pinning a Web link to Start. The other method is to use a Microsoft Edge secondary tile.
To pin a legacy `.url` shortcut to Start, you must create a `.url` file (right-click on the desktop, select **New** > **Shortcut**, and then type a Web URL). You must add this `.url` file in a legacy Start Menu directory before first boot; for example, `%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\` or the all users profile `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\`.
