Hello @Gandalf_The_Grey

Thank you very much for the nice guide and hyperlinks to the article.

Might as well contribute too something I have been looking for... The Classic Contex Menu.

So, I created a Batch Script (.cmd .bat) for the times Windows Updates think they must revert Registry Changes for the Classic Contex Menu. Evaluated this on my Productive Windows 11 computer with success.
