IF YOUR PROBLEM OR QUESTION IS ALREADY EXPLAINED IN THE README FILES I AM NOT GOING GO ANSWER YOU. READ THE TEXT I PUT THERE BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS.
Tested in Every major Windows 10 release(not tested for 11).Some legacy applets may not work depending on the version of Windows 10 you are using(eg 7 intl.cpl works up to 1909,8.X themecpl.dll works up to 1607). Some applets functionalities can't be restored unfortunately but you can still view their pages(eg 7 style usercpl.dll).
VERSION 4.0 Hotfix 1 19/09/2024

Changelog:
-Fixed the bug that caused Network Map CPL to not load.
-Updated the readme for Windows Cardspace CPL.
VERSION 4.0 18/09/2024

-Updated 7 Style Performance Information and Tools
-PerfCenterCPL no longer requires regsvr32 command,import the included regkey as TI instead.
-Updated the included WH mod(special thanks to aubymori )
-Added a New URI redirector based off VBS.( It might not redirect everything well since its not that completed compared to the AHK based one. It is a lot faster compared to the AHK based one)
-Added an improved regkey for stopping Desktop context menu redirection,now its behavior is 1:1 with Windows 7-8.1.
-Improved clarity in some readme files.
There is a way to restore links on versions 1507-1809 instead of importing files to shell32.dll.mun you directly import them to shell32.dll but it will require you to break shell32.dll's signature and will force you to disable secure boot and choose "disable driver signature enforcement" every time you boot. It's not very secure so thats why i wouldn't recommend attempting to get links on Windows 10 versions 1507-1809.
