    Change "Modern" context menu


    Hi,
    as you might have noticed, windows 10 has 2 different looks for the context menu, the usual one you see rightclicking on files and most applications, and a new terribly horrifying and pointlessly spacetaking modern one which appears rightclicking on the taskbar, on edge webpages and somewhere else. These new ones have a TON of vertical spacing and padding, opposed to the more classic one which efficiently used screen space.
    Is there a way to resize the look of the modern one to make it look like the classic one, or is it hardcoded?

  2. Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown Change "Modern" context menu :(

  3. Agitated with context menus

    I ain't going to lie, as far as functionality, the context menus work. Well...I am having an issue with cut and paste. But as far as appearance is concerned, which I am concerned, it's ugly. I mostly have a problem with the dark themed context menus. I
    guess it annoys me because I'm an artist. I suggested many different alternatives which I think would look much better, more professional and modern. But I get the feeling Microsoft is just shrugging off my suggestions. It's kind of like they're saying, "This
    is how it's going to be. DEAL WITH IT!" I thought I was part of something special being an Insider and offering suggestions to how Windows should be, I guess not.

    Change target of "Edit" command in context menus

    Hey all... I'm trying to change the Edit command on the context menu in Vista. I know you can get programs that edit this stuff, but I only want to change it for jpegs so I can load photoimpact easily (don't say "get photoshop", I'm just used to photoimpact). So ideally I would just find the registry entry and change it, but can't find it *Frown Change "Modern" context menu :(

    Anyone know how?
