Nope. I've looked in the registry, but could not find it. I've played with the settings until my mouse and was quite sore; still no luck. Perhaps somebody else will have the fix.

Besides that, it works!
In Tools menu | Folder Options, on the File Types tab, select "Folder" and click Advanced. In there is a list of "Actions". If "explore" is in the list, select it instead of "search" and click the Set Default button. If it is not in the list, click the New... button. Type "explore" into the Action field then Browse... to Window/explorer.exe and click OK. Now select "explore" and click the Set Default button.
Let us know how things turn out.
Thanks for joining.
this works on internal drive.

"Open .Net Command Window Here" context menu for Windows Explorer:

menu item text is "Open .Net Command Window Here". When you click it, it
opens a command window positioned at that directory and runs the
vsvars32.bat file to set the .Net Framework environment variable settings.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
