ViStart v8.1.5257

• Fixed "Files" string translation doesn't work lee-soft#8 - lee-soft#8
• Fixed Bug 2] "No programs match the search criteria" is never displayed lee-soft#10 - from lee-soft#10, Bug 1] still remains [BROKEN and removed in 5258]
• Fixed incorrect translation loading on ViStart Control Panel for "strStartViStart" and "strStartWinMenu"
• Improved "Pinned programs" loading from settings.xml, non existent items are not displayed
• Improved "Navigation pane" limit again. 17 items are choosable and are parsed from settings.xml, now in Each Skin's layout.xml can be specified limit which should hide items that can't be displayed. For example user preconfigure 15 items to be displayed in Start Menu "Navigation Pane" in settings.xml. But I have specified in My Skin layout.xml which will hide 4 last incompatible items when is performed Skin change. User can always break this rule when manually selecting Start Menu default items visibility. This tweak is here to improved initial skin load to avoid buttons overlap
