I'm sorry if this has been answered in another thread but I haven't seen a solution anywhere.
1) Is there a way to have the right-click context menu pop up where you right click instead of always above the program?
2) If not, is there a way to permanently enable the shift + right click behavior for the Windows 7 taskbar without having to hold shift down? I find the location of the new context menus to be annoying. I like the old way where the menu would pop up where I right click and not always in the same spot above the taskbar. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self built

Thanks
Thanks Greg S. This was the only thing that was driving me nuts with Windows 7. Now it is perfect! I am a programmer and work a lot in the CMD window!
Happy New Year to you and everyone else! Be Safe!! | | My System Specs | | |

Hey dude, as I mentioned earlier, I'm not familiar enough with the registry to find my own solution. Can you help me? Where is the string value "Extended" located?

Happy 2010! I'm not in Win 7 at the moment. I've searched for something that might make it easier for you. Have a look at this brief outline on ShellMenuView Access and Customize Windows 7's Extended Context Menu - TechSpot
lol, I'm glad I searched that for you because I've used ShellMenuView before and never noticed the extended menu part of it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Averatec 6130HS-20

Keyboard Menu button
This also works using the "Menu button" on the keyboard (i.e. "Shift + Menu button" also brings up the extended context menu).
