This changes the name of our custom start layout to the name that Windows uses when actually implementing the custom layout, which will then be used in (2nd PR mandiant/VM-Packages#1137, from VM-Packages) to store it in the correct location.
I do not see that the new filename is used in the second PR. Am I understanding something wrong?

Nope, I think I had a different implementation in my head that wasn't actually the route that was taken, so that wording is wrong.
We just need to do change the name and path in this PR and remove the old code in the second PR, since customstartlayout won't exist anymore. 🙂

good, I just wanted to confirm it before merging this PR 😉 As the other PR won't find the file used in the removed code, I think we can merge this PR already.
This is a 2 fold PR.
This is the first step for addressing the installation failure in Windows 11 as noted here: Error with packages installer.vm #603. This changes the name of our custom start layout to the name that Windows uses when actually implementing the custom layout, which will then be used in (2nd PR here, from VM-Packages) to store it in the correct location.
This also fixes Procmon and Process Explorer duplication in the taskbar as noted in duplication when opening application from taskbar VM-Packages#1100
NOTE: This WILL break the install until the 2nd PR is merged due to the name change for the custom layout.
