The IContextMenu Interface can to create a context menu and we can Implement Custom Verbs for Folders through Desktop.ini.
IExplorerCommand

as far as I have understood this, Microsoft want's us to use the IExplorerCommand-way to provide context menu items for shell extensions (optional in Windows 7 to 10, required in Windows 11)
(is that correct? I hope so?)
so, does that mean, that we should not / can not use the shellex\ContextMenuHandlers-way anymore? (if we don't want our commands to be placed into the "show more" sub menu ??)
if that's also the case... then... how can I create a context menu that shows my commands when I right click on the empty space of my root folder or all the folders that are not directories (for directories, there is a \background sub key in the registry that I can use) ... I can place my commands into every context menu I want, exept into the folders (not representing a directory or the desktop) of my shell namespace extension
... how's that working?
