### Sample taskbar configuration added to Start layout XML file
If you configure the Start layout using policy settings, you can modify the existing XML file by adding the taskbar customizations to it. Here's an example of a Start layout XML file that includes the `CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection` node.
```xml
<LayoutModificationTemplate xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout" xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout" Version="1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification">

For the **taskbar**, you can use the same XML file as the start screen. Or, you can create a new XML file. When you have the XML file, add this file to a group policy or a provisioning package. Using these methods, you can deploy the XML file to your devices. When the devices receive your policy, they'll use the taskbar settings you configured in the XML file.
## Taskbar options
There are three app categories that could be pinned to a taskbar:
- Apps pinned by the user
- Default Windows apps pinned during the OS installation, such as Microsoft Edge, File Explorer, and Store
- Apps pinned by your organization, such as in an unattended Windows setup
In an unattended Windows setup file, it's recommended to use the [layoutmodification.xml method](../taskbar/configure.md) to configure the taskbar options. It's not recommended to use [TaskbarLinks](/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/unattend/microsoft-windows-shell-setup-taskbarlinks).
The following example shows how apps are pinned. In OS configured to use a right-to-left language, the taskbar order is reversed:
- Windows default apps to the left (blue circle)
- Apps pinned by the user in the center (orange triangle)
- Apps that you pin using XML to the right (green square)
![Windows left, user center, enterprise to the right.](images/taskbar-generic.png)
If you apply the taskbar configuration to a clean install or an update, users can still:
- Pin more apps
- Change the order of pinned apps
- Unpin any app
