The ‘Show More Options’ option is annoying. For example, I have to click numerous times to send a file to my phone. And when that happens a dozen times in a day, it can get annoying.There are two ways to bring back the old Windows 10 context menu. You can either edit the Registry Editor entries. Or, you can tweak the Registry keys directly via Command Prompt. The second step is easy.The Windows Registry Editor is the hub of all Windows settings. And if you know the right key and value, you can customize some parts of your PC as per your preference.https://www.guidingtech.com/wp-content/uploads/How-to-Customize-the-Right-Click-Menu-in-Windows-11-01_4d470f76dc99e18ad75087b1b8410ea9.pngHowever, editing the Registry Editor is no child’s play, and playing with the wrong key & value set may break your computer.Note: Take a backup of the Registry before you make any changes.Step 1: Click on the Windows button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.Step 2: Navigate to the following path:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID

3. Customize Using Third-Party Context Menu EditorsUsing the “Registry Editor” can be difficult as you need to know the specific key for a given menu item or the command for the item you need to add. Another simple way is to use trusted third party menu editors for Windows 10. Many free context menu editors enable you to view and edit the items on the menu.https://a.pub.network/core/imgs/fslogo-green.svg
Some of the popular right click menu editors are:
[*]Right-Click Extender for Windows.
[*]Context Menu Editor for Windows.

ConclusionThe right click menu provides more commands to help you perform various activities on a given file or program. However, sometimes the menu item may be cluttered with items that you never use or need. Luckily, you can personalize the context menu by adding or removing some of the options either through the Windows Registry Editor, or using free third party software. Either method will give you full control of the context menu option, thus enhance your productivity with Windows 10 / 11.
