Retrieving the missing right-click menu for Windows

  

Computer Store News:

Microsoft in the KB KB2022295 Knowledge Base article, explains the phenomenon of Windows Explorer's right-click menu incomplete, and gives a solution method.

Microsoft said that if users select 15 or more files in Windows Explorer and then right click, the following items may be missing from the pop-up menu:

- Open - Print - Edit

Microsoft explained that this is not a bug, but that these entries were intentionally hidden to avoid unintended effects on performance when selecting a large number of files.

If the user really needs to right-click on the above commands when selecting a large number of files, they can be retrieved by editing the registry. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Click the Start menu and type regedit in the search box to open the Registry Editor.

2, expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer

3, right click in the blank space on the right side of the window, select New -DWORD (32-bit) value, and Name it MultipleInvokePromptMinimum.

4. Double-click this item and enter the number of files you want to open in the numeric data. The default value is hexadecimal f and decimal 15.

Log out and log back in, or end the Explorer to run Explorer.exe and re-run it.

Note:

The value of this item is 16 (decimal). It is considered that the display item is not restricted when the right-click menu is popped up, but the number of files that can be actually opened cannot exceed 16. If you want to open more files, you need to increase to the desired value, such as 20, but Microsoft does not recommend setting too large to avoid affecting system performance.
