## What it is
A Windows utility that creates Start Menu tiles for Windows 8.1 and 10 applications by modifying shortcuts and extracting icons from EXE/DLL files. It also creates custom shortcuts for Steam games, Chrome apps, and Windows Store apps with custom tile images.

## Use cases
- create start menu tiles for windows apps
- customize windows 10 start menu icons
- make tiles for steam games
- extract icons from exe files
- create custom shortcuts for chrome apps
- fix apps missing from start menu tiles

## When to avoid
- you need wide or large tiles or transparency, which Windows does not support for standard shortcuts
- you are not on Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 build 10586+
- you need a tool that is actively developed with new Windows 11 support
