Hello all!
Is there one of these "ancient" right-click drop down context menus for my Windows 11 desktop?
Hope so, I've been using these forever!

Hello philippo, :-)

Do you mean to disable the newer "Show more options" context menu like below?

www.elevenforum.com

Disable "Show more options" context menu in Windows 11 Tutorial

When you right click on an item in Windows 11, you will see a new modern condensed context menu with Show more options (Shift+F10) at the bottom you have to click on to see all available options. If you use the context menu a lot, then you will most likely find having to click on Show more...

Thanks for the info on how to disable the "Show More Options" part of the Windows 11 context menu -- that need to click yet again to "delete" anything annoyed me right off.

I guess what I was looking for was called a "Power cascading context menu" in older windows forums...just a right click anywhere opened a dropdown menu with various shutdown options from "sleep" to "hibernate" to "full shutdown, etc...

Perhaps the commands I'm looking for could be added to the Windows 11 context menu you mention above?
(I have to admit I'm a TOTAL newbie with Windows 11, it's only been a couple of weeks since I got this new laptop! :sneaky:)

There's a really nice (free) program called Winaero Tweaker.
More or less, if gives you tons of registry edits, each with just a check box.

winaero.com

Winaero Tweaker

Winaero Tweaker is a free app for all versions of Windows that lets you adjust (i.e. tweak) hidden secret settings that Microsoft does not let you adjust
winaero.com


It does have a way to add Shut Down commands to the Context Menu...
