    Sorry to bother, but is there a batch file to integrate all these modifications? Maybe to be able to choose between them...Thanks!

    Hello

    Would there be a tweak to replace Windows Terminal with Command Prompt in the right click of the start menu ?

    Thanks

    @zucrin He means the Win-X menu. What json file - to customize the Win-X menu?

    Code:
    %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\

    @tistou77 In addition to, or as an alternative to setting Command Prompt as default in Terminal as above, is Admin Command Prompt Here for desktop and folders no good to you?

    With all the "Add to the Context Menu" items contributed here in this thread you may want to clean up the items you don't need to declutter your Context menu

    *Do not just copy and paste this list and merge it. Only select the items that apply to you.
    *Do not ask me how to add back an item you removed
    *
    Export/backup the Registry keys of the items you will remove in case you need to restore an item later on

    Code:
