# Disabling "Show More Options" Context Menu in Windows 11

## Method 1: Group Policy Editor
- **Path**: `User Configuration` -> `Administrative Templates` -> `Windows Components` -> `File Explorer`.
- **Setting**: Set "Turn off show additional options in the context menu" to `Enabled`.
- **Effect**: Disables "Show more options" in the context menu for all users.
- **Note**: Requires Group Policy Editor, not available in Windows 11 Home edition.

## Method 2: Command for Current User
- **Tool**: Windows Terminal (PowerShell or Command Prompt).
- **Disable Command**: `reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve`.
- **Enable Command**: `reg delete "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}" /f`.
- **Effect**: Enables or disables the context menu for the current user only.
- **Note**: Requires restarting the explorer process or the computer to apply changes.

## Method 3: Registry Editor for All Users
- **Tool**: Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
- **Path**: `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}`.
- **Preparation**: Change owner to Administrators group and set permissions to "Full control".
- **Disable Action**: Use provided `.reg` file or manually modify the registry.
- **Effect**: Overrides previous methods and applies to all users.
- **Note**: Administrator rights required. Restart the explorer process or the computer after changes.
