Add Hkcu Software Classes Clsid 86ca1aa034aa4e8ba50950c905bae2a2 Inprocserver32 F Ve | Reg
In Windows 11, Microsoft introduced a simplified, modern context menu (right-click menu) that often requires you to click "Show more options" to see the full list of actions (like "Copy," "Paste," or third-party app options).
By running your command (which sets the registry value to an empty string), you disable the new modern menu mechanism. This forces File Explorer to skip the new menu and display the full, classic Windows 10-style context menu immediately when you right-click.
After running the command, verify with:
reg query "HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\86CA1AA0-34AA-4E8B-A509-50C905BAE2A2\InProcServer32" /ve
You should see:
(Default) REG_SZ C:\Your\Path\file.dll
If you want to go back to the default Windows 11 simplified menu, you can delete the registry key you just created: In Windows 11, Microsoft introduced a simplified, modern
reg delete "hkcu\software\classes\clsid\86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2" /f
(You will need to restart Explorer again for this to take effect).
It is important to clarify upfront: the string of characters you’ve provided — 86ca1aa034aa4e8ba50950c905bae2a2 — does not correspond to a standard, documented Windows CLSID. Known CLSIDs are typically well-documented (e.g., 00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 for Microsoft Office or 0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 for Internet Explorer). The sequence you’ve listed appears either randomly generated, truncated, corrupt, or potentially associated with malware that uses random GUIDs to hide registry entries. You should see:
(Default) REG_SZ C:\Your\Path\file
That said, the command structure you’re asking about — reg add with HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID — is a powerful and dangerous Windows registry manipulation tool. This article will explain:

If you executed the command as written (without proper GUID formatting or /d data), it likely did nothing or produced an error. But if a correct version ran earlier with a DLL payload, your system may be compromised.
