XnShell in context menu of Windows 11

Post by SoCu »

Hi, this may have nothing to do with the installation of XnShell, and is more Windows 11, but now the context menu of the mouse, the XnShell is not displayed in first view, you have to click on "Show more options" to display XnShell.

Does anyone know what to do to show XnShell in the first view of the mouse context menu?

Thanks.

A Google search 'windows 11 right click context menu add' without quotes brings up some links that might possibly be useful, including this one:

Thank you very much, I see that you can not edit the context menu that is now in Windows 11, you have to configure it as in Windows 10 and show all options.

A computer on which Windows 11 is installed, even a newly purchased computer, can apparently be easily 'downgraded' to Windows 10 using an ISO that can downloaded directly from Microsoft, if that would be worthwhile... Plenty of advice available online.

A couple of programs (WinRAR, Notepad++, Bitdefender, to name a few examples) are well able to place menus into the new UI, Windows offers an API command for that. It should also be possible for this excellent tool.

I agree also.

It would be interesting to know how much more complex it is to make win11 shell menu as still many programs lack it.
