    Hello mate,

    Using the registry entry below, and restarting the explorer process afterwards will remove the Open in Windows Terminal context menu.

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked]
    "{9F156763-7844-4DC4-B2B1-901F640F5155}"=""

    I'm working on a tutorial to make it easy to do. I'll post back with the tutorial link when it's finished.

    EDIT: Tutorial done.

    If you'd like to add a better terminal than that terrible "Windows Terminal", you can do so by adding this to a "filename.reg" file. Assuming you have bash installed.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Bash]
    @="Open a Bash shell here"
    "Icon"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Bash\command]
    @="C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\CMD2]
    @="Open a CMD shell here"
    "Icon"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\CMD2\command]
    @="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe"
