Thank you 🖤

Thank you very much !

Amazing!

You could also run batch commands to script this (especially if you frequently setup new machines):

reg copy "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\AnyCode" "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\AnyCode_Disabled" /s
reg copy "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\AnyCode" "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\AnyCode_Disabled" /s

reg delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\AnyCode" /f
reg delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\AnyCode" /f

This renames the key to AnyCode_Disabled in case you need it back. If you don't want that, then just use the delete commands.

You have to run these commands in an Admin shell.
