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 Start
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.

Examples


Example 1: Import a layout into a Windows image

PS C:\> Import-StartLayout -LayoutPath "Layout.bin" -MountPath "E:\MountedImage\"



This command imports a layout of the Start screen into a Windows image.




Example 2: Validate the layout file and Windows image

PS C:\> Import-StartLayout -LayoutPath "Layout.bin" -MountPath "E:\MountedImage" -WhatIf



This command validates the layout file and the Windows image by using the WhatIf parameter. Besides that parameter, the command is the same as the previous example, but this
command makes no changes.
