Feature: Show pinned items in Folders Widget #6596
Description
What's the Problem?
explorer.exe can read custom folders from the registry. but the files app cannot.
The "项目" folder is a custom item and it was not show in Files app.
Solution/Idea
It can get CLSID items from Registry path HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\ and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\.
Then, go to the path HKCR\CLSID\ and find CLSID item.
You can also use HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\ and HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\ to replace HKCR\CLSID\
The display name is the default value for CLSID item.
Icon is the default value for DefaultIcon item.
We can find folder path from item Instance\InitPropertyBag and key Target
