    Extended Context Menu


    I was wondering if there was anyway to show by default the extended context menu in the taskbar and explorer. I know its not a big deal to press and hold shift, but the new limited context menu is pretty much useless to me.

    From what it looks like, it would take some serious registry editing.

Hi, Is there a way to have the Extended Context Menu the default one. Instead of having to hold the Shift key and right click, just right click for the extended context menu. Thanks in advance.
