How to modify only the taskbar menu and use default windows explorer right click menu

[8979867239498]

Hello, hope all is well. I really like the app but only need a single function "Show windows side by side" in the taskbar menu: located in taskbar.nss cmd=command.Show_windows_side_by_side)

Is there a way to enable only the modified taskbar menu and leave the explorer right click menu as windows default? or only enable the "show windows side by side" specific function? or even extract it into a standalone .bat or cmd file to execute directly? I don't like the right click menu (the "Cast to" feature is completely absent!) and would prefer using the default windows right click explorer menu. As of now it seems it's "all or nothing" but hopefully I'm missing something.

I tried reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32" /ve /f to restore default windows 10 explorer menu, but the shell app override that.

by default, the NS modifies all menus that are built by Windows shell components - it can be limited to skip modifying certain context menus or to modify only a certain context menu. If you want something like this you should describe better what you want.

the show_windows_side_by_side command works only through the Windows API (part of NS framework)

in imports/modify.nss there is code that removes commands:

modify(mode=mode.multiple
	where=this.id(id.restore_previous_versions,id.cast_to_device)
	vis=vis.remove)

delete ,id.cast_to_device and the command "Cast to" be visible again

Thanks for the reply. Yes, you were correct, I'd like the modify only a certain context menu. The taskbar menu. If it's possible to only modify that one and leave the rest as-is default windows 11, that would be perfect.

In windows 11, the taskbar context menu has been greatly reduced to two options; Task Manager, and Taskbar Settings. This is very limiting and a good reason to use NS.

If you could share how to limit the menu modification to only taskbar context menu, it would be greatly appreciated.

Alternatively, if there's a way to access the windows API directly through a cmd or python script, to initiate the "show windows side by side" command, that would also be helpful.
