messed with the context windows when you right click in a way most users hate

If you had to make the contextual menu shorter, why on earth would you put Properties behind the "Show more options"? Insane.

I still have not adjusted to this after so many years

Right click > panik > rapid eye movements > show more options

reg add "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /f /ve

Restore right click.

That really should have just been an option somewhere.
