context menu

Post by harryray2 »

I'm using Win 11..

Is it possible, on the context menu, to get search Everything on the first page of the context menu without having to choose 'show more options'?

It is currently not possible to show Everything in the modern context menu.

Adding Everything to the modern context menu requires a shell extension. (dll)
This is something I would like to avoid in Everything.

I have on my TODO list to create a stand alone dll to do this, but it's low priority.
There must be tools out there already that make it easy to modify the modern context menu?



Alternatively (and highly recommended), disable the modern context menu:
  • From the Start menu, search for:
    regedit
  • Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
  • Create the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}
  • Create the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32
  • Restart your PC.

Thanks, I don't mind the modern menu per se, as disabling it seems to lose a bit of functionality.

I can't find anything to do this, as there are a few items I would like to appear first. The only programme that I have installed to do this is Winrar

You can try something like NileSoft Shell.
