Disable the XYplorer context menu

Post by Texano88 »

I would like to be able to disable the XYplorer context menu to be able to use Windows 11's new default context menu in XY as well. I enabled the context menu in 64 bit, but it doesn't work, the Windows 10 context menu always opens. My goal is to be able to use https://nilesoft.org's Shell in XY, which is Windows' alternative context menu, and I believe disabling XY's context menu will be consequential to Shell's opening.

Is there hope that this change will be implemented?

Nope. There's generally no hope. ;)

I have enabled the Windows 11 Classic context menu.
There are no missing items in XY.
I can have this

or this

depending on the XY setting.

I haven't tested Shell, but FYI you would need to at the bare minimum remove/comment out this line in the config of Shell for it to support other apps besides Explorer.

exclude.where = !process.is_explorer

the line is already commented, Shell works everywhere except in XY, I think it depends on XY not on Shell
