Choose which version you want to use: - "Full Menu" Version: The same as the original one in the new context menu, and has multiple sub-menu items - Other Version: Doesn't have a sub-menu, it just directly opens the "Create Archive" menu. (The equivalent of clicking the "Additional Options" sub-item in the original) 2. Double click the "Add_" reg file of whichever version you choose 3. Restart Windows Explorer - You can restart it by opening Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then search it for "Windows Explorer", right click that and hit "Restart" - You can also just restart the whole computer of course ---------------------------------------------------------- Technical Explanation / Notes For Anyone Curious: - This won't overwrite any existing registry entries or anything, it only creates a couple new ones - You could add both versions and they'll both be there. They're independent, so if you add both, you'll need to remove both separately too using theire respective "Remove_" reg files. - The tweak basically works by copying the registry entries that makes the command appear in the 'new' start menu, and adds them to the old menu as well - Behind the scenes, the "Create Archive" menu is given the command name "Windows.CompressTo.Wizard" which exists at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.CompressTo.Wizard - The full "Compress To" menu has the command name "Windows.CompressTo" which exists at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.CompressTo File renamed without changes.This file contains hidden or bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below.
