Safe? #160

Looking for some customization tips for Windows 11 I found your project. I want to be sure this is safe to use because I found some reviews saying there's COM hijacking vulnerabilities due to the changes in the registry of the system. I really appreciate a response.

This is often the result of the system being exploited by other malicious software. Under normal circumstances, almost every piece of software needs to modify the registry and it is normal to use the registry.

Additionally, this project is registered to Explorer, which has low privileges and no administrator-level privileges, and is generally safe.

As far as this program is concerned there have been no reported security problems caused by the use of this program.
