Add or Remove the Classic Personalize Context Menu

By Timothy Tibbetts

When you right-click on your Desktop, Windows 10 now goes directly to Settings. If you miss the option to jump directly to some classic personalization settings, it's easy enough to do.

The beautiful thing about this tweak is that you can use Personalize and Personalize Classic side-by-side in your Context Menu.

By restoring the classic personalization, you can have quick access to:

Theme Settings
Desktop Background
Color and Appearance
Sounds
Screen Saver Settings
Desktop Icon Settings
Mouse Pointers
Notification Area Icons
System Icons

While restoring your registry is simple, adding the Classic Personalize is more complicated than it's worth, so you'll want to download these Registry files.

Double-click on the self-explanatory registry files - Add Personalize Classic.reg or Remove Personalize Classic.reg. Click Yes for the User Account Control (UAC) prompt and Yes for the Registry warning.

While these registry files are safe and easy to use, we always recommend you back up your Registry.
