Restore Appearance and Personalization to Windows 10 Control Panel

That's ok. I asked more hardcore coders and programmers on Stackexchange to see if they might know.

The actual question I had was about the task list. Please refer to the first post and two pictures in the thread. I figured out how to get the links for Personalization and Notification Area Icons in the category view of control panel without modifying existing registry keys or system files, as shown in the first picture, which is from my computer. The question I have is about the second picture, from an old windows 7 computer. In category view of control panel, Appearance and Personalization does not have the links below (blank). Do you know how to resolve this?

If you need nitty gritty details how I did this, I am happy to share.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how to add the links back to a category like that.

Understood. Who are the real customization gurus that I could tag in this post that might be able to help?

Usually, that would be me, but this is not something most people mess with, so I'm not sure either.

What I am looking for is the task list manifest schema, an xml file, and is probably located in shell32.

I think resource hacker can open up these files to look at their resources, right? Or do you recommend any better programs?
