Let's start by looking at the basic structure of the XML file.
- A configuration xml can define multiple `profiles`. Each profile has a *profile Id* and defines a set of applications that are allowed to run
- A configuration xml can have multiple `configs`. Each config associates a non-admin user account to a default profile Id
- A configuration xml can define one or multiple `Profiles`
- Each profile has a unique `Profile Id` and defines a `Shell` elemnt, which is the application that executes when the user signs in
- A profile can define a default action to be taken when the application exits and may define actions to be taken when the application exits with a specific return code
- A profile must be associated to a user account to have an effect
- You can define a `Default profile` that is used when no other profile is associated to a user account
- A configuration xml can define one or multiple `configs`
- Each config associates a user account to a `profile Id`
- A profile has no effect if it's not associated to a user account
You can start your file by pasting the following XML code into a text editor, and saving the file with an xml extension. For example, `kiosk.xml`.
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ShellLauncherConfiguration
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ShellLauncher/2018/Configuration"
xmlns:V2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ShellLauncher/2019/Configuration">
<Profiles>
...
</Profiles>
<Configs>
...
</Configs>
</ShellLauncherConfiguration>
```
## Profiles node
If you want to define a default profile, you can use the `DefaultProfile` element:
```xml
<Profiles>
<DefaultProfile>
...
</DefaultProfile>
</Profiles>
```
Each profile is identified by a unique identifier `Profile Id`, for example:
```xml
<Profiles>
<Profile Id="{EDB3036B-780D-487D-A375-69369D8A8F78}">
...
</Profile>
</Profiles>
```
### Shell node
The `Shell` node defines the application that executes when the user signs in:
- The `Shell` attribute is the path to the application
- The `V2:AppType` attribute defines the type of application
- The `V2:AllAppsFullScreen` attribute is a boolean value that defines if all applications are executed in full screen
```xml
<Shell Shell="" V2:AppType="" V2:AllAppsFullScreen="">
<ReturnCodeActions>
<ReturnCodeAction ReturnCode="" Action=""/>
</ReturnCodeActions>
<DefaultAction Action=""/>
</Shell>
```
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

## Profiles node
An Shell Launcher configuration file can contain one or more profiles. Each profile is identified by a unique identified `Profile Id`, for example:
