aesthetic bug with control panel as a menu instead of a link

from Stardock Forums

when using the modern or windows 7 start menu style and setting the control panel quick access to function as a flyout/menu as opposed to a link, the result is an item coming up as blank.  clicking on its does nothing, its just stuck there.  As this is a pretty fresh 11 install, i can only assume it was an item present until culled via turning windows features on/off or uninstalling it.

after booting up a win11 vm and looking at the control panel, nothing is situated alphabetically between indexing options and internet options so I dont have the slightest as to what this is and/or could be.  I'd just like it to not be there :P

hey basj.  good catch.  oddly enough "company settings sync" was the give away.   it is the "work folders" feature which I certainly did disable.  would probably serve stardock to put in place a check for that and rename the key (what i did as opposed to deleting it) or ignore it via whatever means they deem the best solution in order to prevent that from happening. 

people add and remove windows features all the time so i can only imagine this might rear its head with some other feature that I didnt happen to disable but someone else does.   it kills the polish a bit :P

for now i'll make a .reg to handle it :)
