This is great. I also added "Restart Explorer" to the context menu. I feel like a lot of your viewers will find it useful.

[roylopez]

I used Ultimate Windows Tweaker for Windows 11 to add copy and move files and folder

[DevilbyMoonlight]

Nice one Brian! useful for those that don't want to resort to using a canned tool to do the work!

[tech.curiosity]

Did you know that when you hold shift button and right click it shows a classic context menu ?
Thanks for the video.

[ReapWithRick]

Thanks! I just changed back to Windows 10.

[JoniusGnome]

A bit off topic, but windows 11 related, been using 11 for a couple of months and just found the dynamic lighting setting. Can control my Logitech keyboard rgb from windows instead of the Logitech software.

[ermac]

How to return from classic way to the new one?

[christop_bader]

Another great video i'm still using Explorer Patcher for the context & start menus, thanks Brian

[Ratchet_effect]

Didn't you do this years ago with windows 10 ? I'm sure I still have a batch file you created way back then on my USB stick in folder called Britec Tools & Tips 👍

[Jakiyyyyy]

It's okay. I prefer the classic way. This is just quite awkward to adapt to. 🤣

[louisfifteen]

Those keys, are they provided by microsoft or?

[odgsiut]

Looks useful in some cases, but I prefer using Total Commander, or any other two-tile file manager like double commander which works for Mac/Linux/Win

[uwirfll]

thanks britec nice bit of tech to setup

[Dirtyharry]

What even better is the newer apple cpu has a internal core hacked code built in 🎉

[tonywise]

I found changing the context menu, got rid of what was the most annoying part of Windows 11 for me. Using Start 11 as well, it is all less annoying.

[legend_from_hell]

i want to like this video every time I watch.

[room]

anything above win7 i call "windows RSI" .. ever counted how many extra clicks there is?

[CrowleyBlack]

I guess it would be useful for beginners.

[platterjockey]

I've been using a ready-to-use registry files for the Copyto/moveto function in Windows 7, 8, and 10. I don't understand why Microsoft won't simply include the feature. I also don't understand why MS can't just offer the old context menu as an option.

[DimpieDeBruyn]

I still have the reg keys from 2020 ... DeJaVu 😜
