Enabling ‘Show More Options’ by Default in Context Menu

Right click to skip it all and download the reg file

In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following folder:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID

Or you can simply copy and paste the above folder path in the address bar of the Registry Editor and press Enter.

Next, right-click the ‘CLSID’ folder, click ‘New’ and select ‘Key’. Or with the ‘CLSID’ folder selected, right-click an empty space in the right pane and select ‘New > Key’.

A new key (folder) will be generated under the CLSID folder.

Now, rename the key to the following:

{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}

Or copy-paste the above line as the key name.

Next, right-click on the newly created key, again click ‘New’, and select ‘Key’ to create a sub-key.

Now, name this new subkey as InprocServer32.

Then, you’ll see a registry key named ‘Default’ inside the InprocServer32 key. Double-click on that ‘Default’ registry in the right pane to open it.

In the Edit String dialog box, make sure the ‘Value data’ field is blank and click ‘OK’ or press Enter. Remember the value field must be left empty not 0.

Then, close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. Or you can restart Windows Explorer from Task Manager instead. After that, right-click on the File Explorer or on the desktop to see the classic right-click menu.
