Windows 11 users can add Control Panel to context menu for easier access

xda-developers.com

Windows 11 users can now add the classic Control Panel to the context menu for easier access. This change comes as Microsoft continues to transition settings from the Control Panel to the modern Settings app, which is not yet complete. To add the Control Panel, users must modify the Windows Registry. This process involves creating a new key and entering a specific command, allowing the Control Panel to appear in the context menu when right-clicking on the desktop or in File Explorer. The classic Control Panel remains available due to some settings not being included in the new Settings app. Users can access it quickly while managing files and folders, enhancing usability for those who prefer the traditional interface.
