#How to pin a document to the start menu in windows 10 windows 10
Partial Lockdown mode, that appeared in Windows 10 1511, allows you to specify groups of Start Menu tiles that users cannot change. Using Partial Lockdown to Lock Certain Items in Start Menu To allow the user to change the layout elements, use the Partial Lockdown feature described in the following section. By default, when configuring Start Menu and Taskbar settings for user computers using the Group Policy, users cannot change its elements (delete shortcuts, pin their own items). In this case you need to configure the same policy in the Computer Configuration section. You can also assign the Start Menu layout to the computer objects. In the Group Policy Management Editor, find the policy with the name Start Layout in the section User Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Start Menu and Taskbar. Then run Group Policy Management Console (GPMC.msc) and create a new policy or edit the existing one and link it to the users OU. To deploy your Windows 10 Start Menu layout on domain computers using Group Policy (GPO), you need to copy your layout XML file to the NETLOGON directory on the domain controller. Deploying Windows 10 Start Menu Layout using GPO This XML Start Screen layout will only apply to the new user profiles when they log in for the first time. The main drawback of the Import-StartLayout cmdlet is that it doesn’t import the Start layout to the current user profile, but to the default user profile (the file Layoutmodification.xml appears in C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\ directory).
