That Group Policy is kinda sucky anyway - it allows you to enforce a layout, 
but the users cannot customize it or roam it around.

I discovered a trick that might let you do this with roaming profiles, but I 
haven't verified it on 1607 builds, and it relies on the copy of the roaming 
profile being deleted.

Of course, if you just want to apply a "default layout" and then allow the 
users to customize it, you can simply insert a LayoutModification.xml into 
c:\users\default\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\shell, and every user who 
hasn't logged on is good to go.

But I have to agree with the sentiment - working in an educational institution, 
the ability to "force" a specific layout for student users is very handy.
