mentorron Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Can the link to my CCleaner app be relocated back to just beneath the "Empty Recycle Bin" line when opening the Recycle Bin menu ? Or is there a way I can do it myself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted October 14, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2022 It's a Windows 11 thing to truncate the context menus like that. For now at least you can switch them back to full menus, like they used to be, by editing the registry:https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/windows-11-classic-context-menus The usual warning that any mistakes made in the registry editor can screw up your machine, if you are not confident about doing it then get someone who is to help you. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

mentorron Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 This method did not work for me. Not sure what the difference was, as I double-checked your method and it was set up correctly per those instructions. However: The following method worked great !!! https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/get-classic-full-context-menu-windows-11/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the reasons I was avoiding Win11 since I use allot of context menu audio programs, and them hiding all those by default would have greatly increased my time and frustration.

Moderators nukecad Posted October 16, 2022 Moderators Share Posted October 16, 2022 Not sure why the first one didnt work for you? Maybe there was a typo somewhere? (I'm not spending the time to check that article line for line). They are basically the same registry tweak, one doing it manually in the Reg Editor and the other doing it using the command window. As long as you got it to work eventually that's what matters. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

mentorron Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 I have saved the CMD.EXE instructions that worked for me (see attachment). I have to assume that I will have to reinstate the "fix" EVERY time MS releases a new version of W11. Get full menu back in W11.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but maybe not? Registry tweaks like that usually survive across Windows Updates, even Feature/version Updates. Of course it's always possible that sometime in future they will change Win11 and the tweak will just stop working. They often leave a few such 'backdoors' in new versions that later get locked out. There again it's also possible that if they get enough moans about it then they may just put the old style context menus back for everyone anyway, it wouldn't be the first time. *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'?

Get full menu back in W11.docx 436.56 kB · 1 download Nope this sticks, it's a hidden option (usually one using group policy in a corporate environment ) but no upgrades don't touch the setting ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
