Title: How to Enable or Disable the "Show More Options" Menu on Windows 11


Introduction:

As users explore Windows 11, some may feel nostalgic while others may have concerns about certain user interface choices made by Microsoft. One particular UI change that has raised questions is the hiding of the old right-click menu under the "Show more Options" option. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of enabling or disabling the "Show More Options" menu on Windows 11.


Understanding the Context:

While the new context menu design in Windows 11 offers a cleaner aesthetic, it can be confusing for many users. Notably, familiar options like Refresh or the ability to create folders are no longer readily available when right-clicking on the desktop in Windows 11. Although you can access the old classic menu temporarily by using Shift + right-click, it's not a permanent solution. To regain access to the original right-click menu, you can follow the steps outlined below.


Step-by-Step Guide:

Here's how you can disable or enable the "Show More Options" menu on Windows 11:


1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:

   - Press the Windows key and type "Command Prompt."

   - Right-click on "Command Prompt" in the search results and select "Run as administrator."


2. Execute the Following Commands:

   - In the Command Prompt window, enter the following commands one by one and hit Enter after each command:

     a) reg add HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\{86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2}\InprocServer32 /ve /d "" /f

     b) taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

     c) start explorer.exe


Conclusion:

By following the steps mentioned above, you can regain access to the traditional right-click menu in Windows 11, thereby addressing the concerns raised by many users regarding the "Show More Options" feature. It's important to note that modifying system settings should be done with caution, and we recommend creating a backup before making any changes.


We hope this guide has been helpful in enabling or disabling the "Show More Options" menu on Windows 11 to suit your preferences. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.


Happy computing!

Bypass SSL certificate check for Apache Axis2 client

For some reason, I wanted to totally ignore the certificate and trust store check with my Axis2 client stub implementations and I was looking for the solution. I came across a lot of articles which states about using  HttpsURLConnection to disable SSL check, but the problem is underlying Axis2 client doesn’t use the  HttpsURLConnection  Solution: We can use that TrustManager to create an SSLContext which trust all the servers. SSLContext sslCtx = SSLContext . getInstance ( "TLS" ); sslCtx . init ( null , new TrustManager [] { new TrustAllTrustManager ()}, null ); APIStub client = new APIStub ( url ); client . _getServiceClient (). getOptions (). setProperty ( HTTPConstants . CUSTOM_PROTOCOL_HANDLER , new Protocol ( "https" , (ProtocolSocketFactory) new SSLProtocolSocketFactory ( sslCtx ), 443 ));
