is there a fix to replace the immersive context menu?

Unfortunately, no. This was previously fixable by a editing a registry entry but Microsoft hardcoded immersive menus into Windows Explorer so we're out of luck unless Microsoft re-adds this as an option which is unlikely

Acutially it is fixable through a bug I wouldn't call that a solid fix.

I got a Recursive Copy Key error enabling the thing, but everything else looks like it's working.

Acutially it is fixable through a bug I wouldn't call that a solid fix. I tried it in a VM and it did not work - unless it can replicated on another machine, I'd honestly put it down to a random occurrence. It's not the first time someone has said they got it working and shown proof, but mine and others attempts to repeat it had resulted in nothing. There's an old thread on Sevenforums where someone mentions a version of AVG from 2009 can bug out the context menus and it'll result in the old ones to show. I hunted down that exact version and tried it on W10 1903 just incase, and ofc, no dice. In short; it's placebo. It might work on your setup and that's fine, but unless someone else can follow what you did and get the exact same results, then count it as a fluke. This is the only real chance at a fix as of now: github.com/rikka0w0/ExplorerContextMenuTweaker

- Create key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" before disabling defender
- Fix recursive copying of key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\DefaultColors"
- Add ExplorerContextMenuTweaker support
- Auto update EXE in StartUp folder
- Fixed some bugs here and there

Does anyone know where the window metrics are stored? HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics Consider please also installing Folder Options X. It will make the appearance of the folders much more classic. A reg file with the settings is attached t800.reg (318 B)

Because ExplorerContextMenuTweaker is only compatible with x64 Windows HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics Consider please also installing Folder Options X. It will make the appearance of the folders much more classic. A reg file with the settings is attached Will do! you might as well remove the ribnonui from the mui/mun explorerframe for classic menus just make a .bak to revert to standard .., I know how to do it but many people dont use reshacker Might look into that later

Sorry, I'm just stupid. My executable is compiled as x86 so when running those commands it calls the 32-bit version of regsvr32. Will be fixed in the next version

Made the "here" link more obvious. Thank you for your great tutorial anyways, it was really helpful!
BTW, since I haven't made a version in a while, here's the current status:
Stuff planned for v9:
--> Refactor code Compile as x64 Add a logo to the app (Would love to see suggestions/inspiration on that)
Yes, I'm still refactoring code. It just takes a lot of time to do this because my code was a complete mess but when you start cleaning up some things, stuff is bound to be broken. Fixing all of that makes a whole new mess so it's kinda frustrating. But the code for the GUI has been cleaned up now so I only have the main executable code to clean up which shouldn't take that long. As for the compiling as x64, it's literally just a checkbox in Visual Studio. I expect this all to be done at the end of this week.
TL;DR: Still refactoring code for v9, will be done at the end of the week

- Refactored a lot of the code so it's easier to work with
- Compile as x64 to fix ExplorerContextMenuTweaker bug
- Added the Windows 98 logo as the app logo
- Re-add compatibility message
