[WIN8] Start Menu apps and multiple users

Hi there:

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the following problem:

a) I create a local user account in Win8 and install a StartMenu app (Win8StartButtonSetup) to get the Start Menu back. However, after installing the start menu app, when creating another user and logging onto that second local account it hangs at the desktop without any icons, etc....

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

When I tried classic shell went on all users, and I had no problems.

Not seeing that with Start8.

Ok I will try it again - are you guys installing Start8, et. al. after creating the new user accounts or before?

Thanks.

I created the admin for install (initial user), then created a standard user as my main user account, I then installed start8 while logged into the standard user.

That might be the difference - I was installing the apps before creating the new user accounts; will try the other way.

I will give it a try (installing with the initial user) on my next install to see what happens and report back!
