Windows 11 Tweaks, Fixes and Modifications [Overview]

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it suggesting the main tweaks/fixes/modding post be moved to replace the second post of this thread which is way out of date, but didn't hear anything back. It does seem odd that the first post you see for tweaks and fixes is way out of date.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

That's neat. Added to main tweaks/fixes/modding post index.

@abbodi1406 in your screenshot there you have Restart Explorer with an icon, it's just one entry, better than this one. Can you post it here please and I'll replace that one in the index too. TIA.

 

I don't think it' better, there is no MUI for that sentence

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"

 

Remove Cast To Device From Context Menus Of Media Files

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked]
"{7AD84985-87B4-4a16-BE58-8B72A5B390F7}"=""

Restart Explorer/Reboot.

 

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.

Remove Open In Windows Terminal From Desktop And Explorer Context Menus

Thanks, it's working .
