DESCRIPTION


The Import-StartLayout cmdlet imports the layout of the Start screen into a mounted Windows image. When you import a layout, it replaces the existing layout of the St
art screen. Before you use this cmdlet, mount the Windows image file to import the layout into.


Use the Export-StartLayout cmdlet to create a .bin file, and then use this cmdlet to import that file. You must have administrator rights to import a layout.


The Export-StartLayout cmdlet also exports layouts as .xml files, but this cmdlet imports only .bin files.
