I am a bit confused. The question states [You need to ensure that LayoutModification.xml will apply to all users who sign in to Computer1] If you use option C. C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\ this will apply ONLY to users who have never logged into the computer and NOT to already existing users with existing profiles None of the other options seem to be valid as well, so the least option with less errors seems to be C

Agree. However, the question also states to ensure the .xml file apply to "all users" who "signs in". So for that scenario, "C" fits the best answer.

this is not true, Taskbar modification will apply to current users (already logged in) next time they log in again. tested in a VM. it is odd since folder/desktop shortcuts are only applied on first log in for a profile, but for this, it applies to all accounts, even existing

Selected Answer: C

The correct answer is C. C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\ When a user signs in for the first time, Windows 10 copies the content of the Default profile to create a new profile for the user. So, by placing LayoutModification.xml in the Default profile's Shell folder, you can ensure that the taskbar modifications apply to all users who sign in to the computer. Answer A (C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop) is the location for the Public Desktop, which contains shortcuts that are visible to all users. Answer B (C:\Windows\ShellExperiences) contains system files related to the Windows Shell Experience. Answer D (C:\Windows\System32\Configuration) does not exist.

it seems - taskbar modification applies to ALL users - desktop and folder shortcut modifications only apply to NEW users so, C.

C is correct answer. You can't modify the Taskbar Layout once a user logged on

C:\Users\Default is only working for a "new" user that hasn't logged on the computer. The question says "Several users have signed in to Computer1 and have a profile." So, C is not the correct answer

but there are some user that have been signed before and you should modify it for everone, which one should be then? A?

Ok I was wrong, A should'nt work because you cannot put the file there... but if you modify the default user folder it only will apply for a new users. So, maybe you should remove the cache for any current user or something like that. Any thoughts?
