    Wanting to try it, anyone got a link to download that isn't behind their paywall?


    I reported it suggesting the main tweaks/fixes/modding post be moved to replace the second post of this thread which is way out of date, but didn't hear anything back. It does seem odd that the first post you see for tweaks and fixes is way out of date. Perhaps it can't be moved, don't know. Anyway, just push on, the main post will be kept updated. @ancestor(v) @Tito

    tskill is not available in Home editions
    Code:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\shell\Restart Explorer]
    "icon"="explorer.exe"
    "Position"="Bottom"
    
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\shell\Restart Explorer\Command]
    @="TSKILL EXPLORER"

    This only adds to the old context menu. I suppose the only way to add to the new context menu is using the IExplorerCommand api introduced since windows 7! Sadness, thought there would be a simpler solution. Regardless, thanks.

    If you're using the Windows 11 context menus it's under "Show more options".

    Update: Oh I see what you mean, you'd like it in the first context menu. I expect someone will work that out in time.
