Shell Configuration
Config Entry
<component displayname="Microsoft-Windows-shmig-DL" migrate="yes" ID="https://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/cmi/microsoft-windows-shmig-dl/microsoft-windows-shmig-dl/settings"/>
Config Manifest
"\USMT\x86\DlManifests\shmig-dl.man"
Plugin: "Microsoft-Windows-shmig-DL\shmig.dll"
Behavior Synopsis
There is no practical XML for this manifest, all work done by the plugin SHMIG. It loads each user profile and migrates registry settings for per-user display settings like DPI, screensaver settings, recycle bin usage and confirmation dialogs, the Start Menu, and User Tiles. Also supposed to migrate "Send to" context menu, but bug in XP prevents this from working correctly (see KB2459849). Supports migrating wallpaper settings, but does not do so from XP to later OS for licensing reasons.
Shell Folders
