Hello!
I cannot stand the new drop down when I right click on a file. Could you please update windows 11 so we can set the show more option as the default?
Thank you!

Hi Brie,
You can use a small registry hack to revert to the classic context menu if you're not fond of Windows 11's fast context menu.
reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32 /ve /d "" /f

Hello Brie,
The tutorial below will disable the newer "Show more options" context menu to always have it show more by default again.

I found the icons displayed at top of "right-click"
panel for copy and paste - better than 2nd step to "see more options"
Don't make advanced users have to hold down extra buttons or perform extra clicks to accommodate less advanced users... terrible design philosophy here. Please communicate up the chain that if you're going to make a change like this then, by design, allow advanced users to disable the "Simple view"
Shift Right-Click does not work on Windows 11 pro 21H2 (and I already had to hack the registry twice to restore the Explorer ribbon and taskbar right-click for Task Manager).
