Should restore the old right click menu (it did last time I used it at any rate).

So much of windows 11 configuration is removing things you never asked for and putting things back.

Sadly I’m in a locked down corporate environment, so I can’t edit the registry. IT even closed my ticket when I asked for them to make the edit on my behalf.

I don’t use Windows on any personal machines, so there’s no way for this to benefit me. I hope it helps others who are frustrated by this though!
