Restore Full Menus to Windows 11 - Bypass the Need to Click Show More Options

[rsutter]

Hello All,
Long ago, I set up my Windows 11 computer so that right clicking showed all options initially instead of having to click Show More Options
I recently added a new computer and couldn't remember what I did to accomplish this.  It's a simple fix.  Open the Terminal as Administrator and paste in the text shown in bold on the next line.
reg.exe add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

While there are other ways to accomplish this, the one shown is the shortest and least complicated.

I have been using a REG file for many years. I always keep a copy in my "Toolbox" folder for future Windows installations. You just click on the REG file and it's entered into the Windows Registry.
