ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
« on: August 08, 2017, 02:11:45 AM »
Win10 Pro w/ Avast 17.5.2303 build 17.5.3585.192

Registry entry of

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\00avast]
@="{472083B0-C522-11CF-8763-00608CC02F24}"

What is this for and why would I need it?
