Add Windows Terminal to the context menu

Windows Terminal, see: WinTerminal

• Context Menu: https://github.com/lextm/windowsterminal-shell
• don't simply download the install.ps1 and uninstall.ps1 files, because it won't work
• download the complete <> Code using the button

Installing is simple: simply execute the install.ps1 script in an elevated prompt.

However, there are three layouts, default (with submenus), flat, and mini. Installation and uninstallation requires flat and mini as parameter:

• .\install.ps1 flat and .\uninstall.ps1 flat
• .\install.ps1 mini and .\uninstall.ps1 mini

I've chose the mini layout.

Remove 'Restore from snapshot' from the FILE and FOLDER context menus

By default, Rollback RX Home adds 'Restore from snapshot' to the context menus of files and folders.

• in the Registry Editor, go to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ShdExt - this probably stands for Shield Extension
• double-click the (Default) string value and prefix its data with some dashes (I used the prefix ----LegacyDisable----)
• then go to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ShdExt
• again, double-click the (Default) string value and prefix its data with some dashes
• you don't have to logoff/logon - the changes take place immediately!

Remove duplicate PowerToys context menu items

PowerToys has two context menu items:

• Resize pictures
• PowerRename

Both can occur twice in the context menu (depending on whether your choose a file or a folder, or a folder background). I think it's due to the fact that I'm using !StartAllBack, where I enabled the Classic context menus option in the Explorer category.

You can get rid of one of them by deleting the following registry keys:

PowerRename context menu:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PackagedCom\ClassIndex\{1861E28B-A1F0-4EF4-A1FE-4C8CA88E2174}]

Image Resizer context menu:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PackagedCom\ClassIndex\{8F491918-259F-451A-950F-8C3EBF4864AF}

Attached you find a backup of these registry keys. You never know you need them. Be aware that they return when you update PowerToys: HCR-PC-CI-PT.ImgResizerCtxMenu_metro.reg & HCR-PC-CI-Ms.PT.PwrRenameCtxMenu_metro.reg.
