Windows Explorer menu

Anonymous

Right-clicking on a file in Explorer, opens a menu which in my opinion should be quick overview of the Common used commands.
Unfortunatly, this menu misses the commands I used frequently ("New") and requires me to click on "Show more options". Doing so, I am then catapulted back to the Windows 10 menu where I can click on the shortcut I use frequently ("New").

Is there a way to Edit this menu to fit my own mist used menu's?

Hi Trivino

I am Dave, I will help you with this, please use this fix, to set the Windows 11 right click Context menu to the same as it was in previous versions of Windows.

Download this registry file:

Right click that reg file and choose 'Merge' then, confirm the merge.

Restart (not shut down) your PC to apply that change and the context menu's will have all options without the need to click 'Chow More Options'

    OK, your solution works fine.
    But........................ am I running Windows 10 or Windows 11?
    It seems to me that this solution is the same as "going back in time".
    Thanks anyway for this tip.

    Is there a Registry file command to reactivate the Windows 11 menu?
