I am a developer, so I used a registry key in order to always open the full context menu in Windows Explorer once I upgraded to Windows 11. It seems like the v3.11 upgrade made it so that the context menu was _added_ to the new context menu layout, but in so doing _removed_ it from the extended layout. Is it possible to have it in both places?

Is this in Windows Explorer or in a different program?

I've just seen that you've used a Registry key to get the classic menu by default. I think it's a stretch then to post this as a bug report, however:

You could try this from a command prompt **with administrative** rights

```nohighlight
cd <path to Mp3tag installation>
regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll

```

My apologies, first time poster 😃 but it did indeed return the context menu item after a restart of explorer. Many thanks for the quick reply!
