  1. Add Shut Down to Desktop Context Menu


    I finished upgrading my laptop to Window 10 Pro and I got Microsoft Money Sunset and Frontpage 2003 working. So I am happy. *Party

    An old problem came back, after a shutdown, the system "resumes" instead of starting without the option of allowing me to get into the bios. I had a fix for that for Windows 8.1 but when I tried that for Windows 10, let just say I was glad I had created a restore point. *Wink

    So if your are listening Brink will you be updating your registry fix for Windows 10? *Biggrin

    :)

  3. Agitated with context menus

    I am very displeased with the context menus in Windows 10 ever since Build 10240. There is no consistency among them. The one for the desktop looks different than the one for the taskbar. The desktop has a "light" themed context menu and the taskbar has
    a "dark" themed one. All the context menus need to match.

    I read that BS in the Insider Hub about why it is the way it is and it's so stupid. Here is an example, "Some Windows surfaces (e.g. file explorer) prefer light menus for a continuous experience while others opt for darker menus to maintain continuity."
    They say that as if it's actually alive.

    I have a small screen (1024x600) and when I right-click on the taskbar, the context menus are HUGE! When I right-click on the Start icon, I have to scroll down just to get to the "Shut down or sign out" option. They're supposed to make it simpler to use,
    not add more steps.

    This is really bothersome to me. It's like an itch that cannot be scratched, it annoys me to no end. Didn't even know I had OCD until I saw this disaster with the context menus. I wonder if anyone else is peeved at this?

  5. Your shutdown tutorial works for Windows 10, thanks. I thought used it to fix my laptop a long time ago but a clean install of Windows 10 preview brought back the problem.

    I am a big user of the context menu. Shutdown Now, Restart, Sleep, Control Panel, Settings and Personalize Classic. Among all my other favorite Registry edits I have created a Master Edit with the above listed and many more other than just the context menu. Makes it easy for fast setups.
