I am testing configuring Start8 using Group Policy and I am having a problem with the "Right hand location shortcut" settings.

I am testing in a Windows 2003 domain using a Windows 8 Pro system.  in my test, policies settings within the Group Policy branch "User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start8" apply as expected.  However, policies in the branch "User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start8 > Right hand location shortcuts" do not seem to apply.  What I have noticed by opening up the policy ADMX file and by analyzing the test client, is that when settings from the "User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start8 > Right hand location shortcuts" branch are set, it creates those policies on the test client in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8 key.  It creates the values as v_1, v_2, etc. depending on the attribute being configured.  However, the Start8 client is not looking at these values.  The Start8 client expects the right hand location shortcut settings values to be in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Right key and expects them in the format 1, 2, etc.

Please help.
