Windows 10: Context Menus - (Inconsistencies)

If you're not keen on the 'larger' spacing on some Explorer right click context menus, or,
have applied a different 'text size' and, perhaps applied 'Bold' but find that the modifications do not adhere,

here's a quick Registry modification to fix that.

If you are comfortable modifying the Windows Registry, fine, but I always stress to create a Restore Point before doing so.

Open the Windows Registry and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\FlightedFeatures





In the right pane of 'FlightedFeatures', create a New►DWORD (32-bit) Value,
name it ImmersiveContextMenu,
give it a data value of 0 and click OK.

Close the Registry Editor, restart Explorer or Logoff and back on or Restart.

That's it!

File explorer not displaying complete path for certain folders on Windows 10.

Any resolution on this issue? Last time I checked, the text box that is being referred to is still designated by Microsoft as "address" with context menu options such as "copy address", "edit address", etc. The resulting copied text "Downloads" is
NOT an address.

Please fix this inconsistent behavior or hide context menu selections when file explorer decides to only display a useless label.

 

Windows 10 context menu keyboard shortcut not what it should be in File Explorer

I recently bought Windows 10 Pro. When I right-click (or press a context menu button), and the context menu pops up, I'm getting inconsistent keyboard shortcuts. If I click in a blank space (i.e. the current folder), the shortcut to access "Properties" is
'R'. But if I click on a folder- or file-icon, and I press 'R', Windows beeps at me as if the shortcut is invalid. When I use the keyboard to open the menu, it shows me that the shortcut for Properties is 'O'.

This is not only inconsistent, but different to all previous versions of Windows that I've ever used. I thought that perhaps I'd installed something that'd messed with the Windows shell (but I'd only installed ESET's antivirus/firewall and the computer's
drivers). I reset my PC, but I'm still getting the inconsistent shortcuts.

I have a laptop that was updated to Windows 10 SL that works correctly, so it seems like it's a problem with my new PC's installation.

Can you tell me what might have caused it? Or how to change the shortcut key for "Properties"?

 

Nice one!
Thank you Edwin, thank you VG.

It makes it more solid-looking as well.

 

Exactly, bold text, in context menus, won't adhere unless you apply this tweak.
