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](https://superuser.com/a/1699572/529800), 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.
