    PowerShell(Admin) -right click start menu edit


    Right click on either PowerShell shortcut in the Win10 20H2 start menu and both are user not the System32 for the (Admin). I couldn't find where these start menu right click shortcuts are stored so I have used the tutorial registry script merge to have the admin cmd on the file explorer right click (Open Command here as administrator) as an alternative or as a workaround.

    This change to the right click start menu did not affect the laptop update from 2004 to 20H2 which took place via Windows Update in one session this last update session. The desktop has been updating through the various versions (2004, 20H2 version 19042.630 currently)
    Is it possible to edit this cmd shortcut to get it back to starting from System32?

    Hello Rose,

    By default, these All Apps list items point to shortcuts located in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows PowerShell folder.

    The shortcuts in that folder should point to the C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 and/or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 folders though.

    Add or Remove Items for All Apps in Start menu in Windows 10

How do you change the context menu for web pages (.HTML, .HTM files) so when you right-click and select "Edit" the file is opened in another HTML editor (Dreamweaver, Visual Studio, Sublime Text, etc....) rather then Microsoft Word? Thanks
