Windows 10 might be a goner but there are still some ancient icon relics inside Windows 11 that date all the way back to Windows 95

Microsoft's pifmgr.dll file, which dates back to Windows 95, is still included in Windows 11 and contains a collection of icons designed for user personalization of shortcut files. The entire icon set occupies 38KB of space.
