Open the old context menu in MS Windows 11!


So that it is possible to continue using your own entries in the context menu, Microsoft has provided additional options for calling up the old context menu!



If you use the context menu key on the keyboard  , the old context menu appears immediately!

1.) ... Standard procedure to open the old context menu!
2.) ... Registry scripts to create yourself or to download for the old context menu!
3.) ... Registry intervention to deactivate the Explorer context menu!



1.) Standard procedure to open the old context menu!


1. Start Windows 11 Explorer as always !

2. Select the files, folders, ... 

3. And go to "Show more options" <in the new Windows 11 context menu

4. To see the old classic menu in Windows 11 Explorer

( ... see Fig Point 1 to 4 )

PS: Up to ver. 22000.51 the old Explorer could also be activated in Windows 11! 

Info:

You can open the old context menu using a key combination, as I said, using the  context menu key . Microsoft has built in another option for the desktop or in the Explorer folder with the key combination Shift + F10 and the old context menu should appear immediately and without detour, but unfortunately does not always appear where you expect it!
