+
+* Install windows subsystem for linux
+
+  To get underway we need to enable [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux][wsl]].  This requires a 64bit installation
+  of Windows 10.
+
+  #+NAME: Enable the wsl feature
+  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
+  powershell.exe Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
+  #+END_SRC
+
+
+  After enabling the wsl feature we need to download the debian installer and
+  open it.
+
+  #+NAME: Download the debian installer
+  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
+  cd "C:\Users\jmhbnz\Downloads"
+  powershell.exe curl.exe -L -o debian.appx https://aka.ms/wsl-debian-gnulinux
+  powershell.exe Add-AppxPackage .\debian.appx
+  #+END_SRC
+
+  
+  After the installer runs we need to manually enter a username and password for
+  the unix account that wsl will use.
+
+
+* Configure windows ten
+
+  Enable all tray icons to be visible and restart explorer
+  
+  #+NAME: Configure tray icons
+  #+BEGIN_SRC tmate
+  powershell.exe Set-ItemProperty HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Micorosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer EnableAutoTray 0  
+  powershell.exe ps explorer | kill
+  #+END_SRC
+
+  Additionally I normally take the following actions:
+
+** Update taskbar layout
+
+   - Hide the search box.
+   - Hide the task view button.
+   - Unpin all but explorer.
+
+
+** Update start menu layout
+
+   - Unpin all applications from start.
+
+
+** Lock screen configuration
+
+   - Untick show tips
+   - Set background to be picture and use in folder
+   - Remove status detailed or otherwise for apps on lock screen
+
+
+** Fix inactive window title colors
