   Frank brings up an interesting point, which is even though nobody ever   
   needed Open Shell Menu in the past (yes, even on Windows 10), now it's   
   actually needed on Windows 11 for the first time since pinned taskbar menus   
   are (apparently) no longer allowed on Windows 11 (but they were on Win10).   
        
      
   For the first time ever, Open Shell Menu is needed (only in Windows 11).   
      
   The good news is you can copy your Windows XP menus to Windows 11 and it   
   "should" work but I haven't tested that yet but that works on Windows 10.
