    • In the right pane, you will see a String Value named "Command."
    • Modify the "(Default)" value to remove the subfolder and just leave the "Shortcut" option without the subfolder.
    • If the data is set to something like:
      Code:
       explorer.exe %windir%\system32\shell32.dll,SHCreateLocalServerRunDll {C62A69F0-16DC-11CE-9E98-00AA00574A4F}
      Change it to:
      Code:
       explorer.exe %windir%\system32\shell32.dll,SHCreateLocalServerRunDll {C62A69F0-16DC-11CE-9E98-00AA00574A4F}
  2. Restart Explorer:
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
    • In the Processes tab, right-click on Windows Explorer and select "Restart" to apply the changes. After following these steps, the "Shortcut" option should now be moved to the left side of the "New" context menu. Remember to be cautious when editing the Windows Registry, as incorrect changes can cause system issues. It's always a good idea to back up the Registry before making any modifications.
