Today to change the content more, let's hurry up.

First, search for and open regedit in Microsoft Cortana;

In each of the following four directories:

\hkey_classes_root\allfilesystemobjects\shell\

\hkey_classes_root\drive\shell\

\hkey_classes_root\folder\shell\

\hkey_classes_root\directory\background\shell\

Perform the following actions:

Align the mouse cursor with the shell item in the tree list on the left, right-click, select New-Item, and then name your new item:

Windows.layout

Click the newly created item named Windows.layout, right-click in the margin on the right side of the window, select New-string value, and name this string value:

CanonicalName

Double-click the newly created string value named CanonicalName and set its value data to:

{23b4303b-4628-438b-ba5c-290fbcb06232}

then click OK.

Right-click an empty space on the right side of the window, select New-string value, and name this string value:

Description

Double-click the newly created string value named Description and set its value data to:

@shell32. dll,-31414

then click OK.

Right-click an empty space on the right side of the window, select New-string value, and name this string value:
