Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Add Restart Explorer Context Menu Entry

; Created by: SlyFox1186
; Profile: https://pastebin.com/u/slyfox1186

; This script will create multiple context menu entries that will allow you
; to restart all running instances of "explorer.exe" then reopen it to
; the active file or folder the menu was triggered from.

; Save this using a .reg extension and run it as an administrator.

; The expanded "hex(2)" string commands are shown above each entry
; to help with comparison and understanding.
