I've seen some OEMs install custom apps and add them to the start screen layout. Does putting the appsfolder.itemdata-ms in the C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows folder work? I want to know if this will delete the file after using sysprep /oobe /generalize.

  • To answer the last sentence, SysPrep will wipe changes to %AppData%/%LocalAppData% since SysPrep removes local users when generalizing (unsure if the same when generalize is not chosen). OOBE shouldn't remove existing user profiles that have been configured, as it simply restarts Windows Setup phase 7 [oobeSystem] (Windows Setup has 7 phases, including generalize, which occurs from WinPE, whereas oobeSystem occurs while booted to the OS) – JW0914 Jan 24 '22 at 12:20

Found this article on the Internet about customizing the default start menu.

  • Links should be supplemental. Answers should be written so that a broken link won't render them useless. – svin83 Jan 24 '22 at 10:58
