  1. How do I change hotkey combination to open extended context menu in explorer?


    I bought a new laptop with pre-installed Windows 11 Pro, and for some reason it has a different key combination compared to my old laptop with Windows 11 Home to open extended context menu in explorer - SHIFT + F10. I used SHIFT + RIGHT_CLICK for many years and I am very happy with that combination, so is there any way to change SHIFT+F10 to SHIFT+RIGHT_CLICK?

    :)

  2. Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2 Diagram 'A' shows Windows' suggested programs Diagram 'B' shows the extended list I have been trying to edit the context menu's "Open with" list of Windows' suggested programs for the .mp3 extension. I'm not talking about the extended list, but rather the programs that first appear 'before' the "choose another app" option. If you look at Diagram 'A' you will see the preliminary list generated by Windows, this is the list I am looking to modify. I have an .mp3 editor named Goldwave that I use for editing audio files, however, I do not want to change the preliminary program Windows uses to open .mp3s. My .mp3s should remain assigned to Winamp Player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    Well.. have a look at this:

    I took a risk. I've set a System Restore point then installed Gold Wave. It was not present in that Open With list. I used the Default Programs Editor:

    Note: if you are running as a standard user you may need to run it as admin, if it doesn't offer a UAC prompt.

    How do I change hotkey combination to open extended context menu in explorer?

    File Explorer Context Menu

    Changes to the File Explorer context menu in Windows 11 have made it more inconvenient for me to use compared with Windows 10. I use "New Folder" frequently and this is now 2-clicks away, in favour of a list of commands I never use. Is there a way to change way this context menu displays?
