Policy settings will only work on Pro/EDU/Enterprise editions, it doesn't work for Home edition.
NTLite could grey out those options if you only have a Home image loaded, but then it's also possible to re-apply the same settings to a Pro or EDU image on the same ISO while you're in the Apply screen. So it might be tricky to protect the user.

what do you mean do you have an example
Almost all Group Policy settings are ignored on Windows Home. This is a design feature to prevent businesses from saving money by substituting a Home license for a more expensive Pro or higher edition.
NTLite could hide all the (Policy) settings when it detects you have loaded a Home image. Since the options don't work for Home, they could be greyed out.
But some users take advantage of NTLite's feature which allows you to update multiple images at the same time. When you do this, NTLite can apply the same Settings to each selected image (regardless of its edition). If you hide the Policy settings because you have Home loaded, but intend to apply the Settings to a Pro edition on the same WIM, then the Pro edition is blocked.
Solving one problem in the UI, could make a different problem (blocked functionality). NTLite can't anticipate what different users might do, so it's better to for NTLite not to guess.

because when you buy a laptop or pc there is always a Windows 11 Home on it never pro I use all versions of Windows 11 in the image you never know
how best to change am I trying with a script or do you have a better idea please
This isn't an easy answer. You can't pin folders directly to the Start Menu, only folder links.
Two problems need to be solved: Creating a set of shortcut links for each special folder. Then pin the links to the Start Menu layout. I spent 20 min. looking into this, it's not a trivial problem.
