Right now, to manually open a folder by explorer, "show more options" has to be expanded before you can get there.
Anyway to put "xyplorer" under the root right-click menu? Another third-party software CopyFilenames (https://www.extrabit.com/copyfilenames) did this successfully, demonstrating this possibility. The feature would make xyplorer way more accessible.
Thanks,
SJ

or just hold shift while right-clicking a folder / disable the dreaded Win 11 context menu completely?

On my system I switched off this completely.
So it always shows the full context menu with all entries.

“Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Default File Manager | XYplorer in shell context menu” does not work. XYplorer is still hiden in "show more options"
Holding shifting or switching win 10 right click menu solves the issue by creating another issues. (e.g. holding shifting unfolds all apps in "show more options" which I want to avoid)

Change to always show the classic context menu has no such problems.

"Change to always show the classic context menu" brings up other junk stuff. I only want "open by xyplorer" in the front.
