    How do I disable the new options menu when I right click on a file?


    Let's say I want to copy a file. So, I open windows explorer and I right click on a file. Why are there icons i.s.o. words, and why are the icons parallel and not horizontal? My brain has been trained for the past 20 years to look for "copy", it is very annoying to have to look at and think about some picture. How do I activate the old options menu?

    :)

    'Open in new window' right-click menu option for File Explorer


    I just submitted this suggestion on Windows Uservoice:

    The idea: the right-click menu for folders in File Explorer has an option called 'Open in new window', which opens that folder in a new File Explorer window. Very useful for copying and moving things, and opening destination folders without accessing the start menu a second time.

    Is this a weird joke/troll?

    That feature has been in Explorer since at least Windows 7...

    How do I disable the new options menu when I right click on a file?

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
