Description

### Description

When we pin an app (specifically, an EXE) to Start, the app icon in Start menu is that of Files app instead of it being that of the pinned app.

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Files app
2. Locate any executable file
3. Right click > Show more options
4. Tap "Pin to the Start menu"
5. Open Start menu and observe the issue. While the app is correctly pinned, the icon is that of Files app instead of the EXE's app icon.

### Requirements

Ideally, the pinned icon should be that of the executable file, not the app that made the pin.

### Files Version

Version: 2.4.68.0, OS Version: 22624.1616

### Windows Version

Windows 11 Beta 10.0.22624.1616
