Technical Question on Start11v2

References to TileIconify

Before I started using Start11, I used TileIconify to make changes to Icons for shortcuts on the Windows 10 Start Menu. I was running Windows 10 at the time.

I stopped using TileIconify and uninstalled it and deleted all references to it in the Registry.

I have noticed, both in the Backup file of Start11v2 and in the Registry, that there are still references to TileIconify in the ProgramData folder.

(See image of Registry below.)

My question is why are there references to TileIconify vbs scripts which do not exist?

You had a group for the Win10 style which has those shortcuts. This was probably imported from the OS Win10 menu by Start11.

Evidently these Groups are no longer used in my Start11v2 menu. If all but the (Default) strings were deleted from these Groups in the Registry, would it cause unforeseen issues?

EDIT: Answered this question myself by backing up all questionable Groups in the Registry and then deleting all the Strings in the Groups which contained TileIconify references. They were indeed from earlier Group settings in Windows 10 which were carried over when I upgraded to Windows 11. My Start11v2 menu was unaffected by these changes.

Don't ask me why I wanted to do this. I guess my OCD had kicked in and it was causing me stress. All is good now!
