Windows 10: ShellFeedsTaskbarViewMode deprecated after KB5036979 and the new registry value is more secure

The new registry value also has it's corresponding value for off, icon only and on.

BUT you can't just use same value for all windows 10 PC because it has different value per machine.

1. I find out it's take another registry value named MachineId into account and it's in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient.
2. It append an underscore and the old registry value (2 for off, 1 for icon only and 0 for on). example: {C283D224-5CAD-4502-95F0-2569E4C85074}_0
3. Reverse it. example:0_}47058C4E9652-0F59-2054-DAC5-422D382C{
4. Hash it using HashData (it's in shlwapi.h) but second parameter is 0x53

bHash match the value from the image above.

remember to set 0xFE to 0x0 if you are using swprintf_s.
