+
+Selecting "Collapse" will not display the app list next to the pinned tiles in Start. An "All apps" button will be displayed on Start to open the all apps list. This is equivalent to setting the "Show app list in Start" in Settings to Off.
+
+Selecting "Collapse and disable setting" will do the same as the collapse option and disable the "Show app list in Start menu" in Settings, so users cannot turn it to On.
+
+Selecting "Remove and disable setting" will remove the all apps list from Start and disable the "Show app list in Start menu" in Settings, so users cannot turn it to On. Select this option for compatibility with earlier versions of Windows.
+
+If you disable or do not configure this setting, the all apps list will be visible by default, and the user can change "Show app list in Start" in Settings.

Hides all folders on the user-specific (top) section of the Start menu. Other items appear, but folders are hidden.
This setting is designed for use with redirected folders. Redirected folders appear on the main (bottom) section of the Start menu. However, the original, user-specific version of the folder still appears on the top section of the Start menu. Because the appearance of two folders with the same name might confuse users, you can use this setting to hide user-specific folders.
-This setting hides all user-specific folders, not just those folders associated with redirected folders.
+Note that this setting hides all user-specific folders, not just those associated with redirected folders.
If you enable this setting, no folders appear on the top section of the Start menu. If users add folders to the Start Menu directory in their user profiles, the folders appear in the directory but not on the Start menu.
-If you disable this setting or don't configure it, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional display folders on both sections of the Start menu.

This setting affects the taskbar buttons used to switch between running programs.
Taskbar grouping consolidates similar applications when there is no room on the taskbar. It kicks in when the user's taskbar is full.
If you enable this setting, it prevents the taskbar from grouping items that share the same program name. By default, this setting is always enabled.
-If you disable or don't configure it, items on the taskbar that share the same program are grouped together. The users have the option to disable grouping, if they choose.
