Nice touch! It is also convenient to have such a menu item for "HKCR\Drive" and "HKCR\Directory\Background". "HKCR\Directory\Background" gets you a right-click on the desktop (along with backgrounds in Explorer windows).

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

"HKCR\Drive" seems to be https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6654.

"HKCR\Directory\Background" is https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/6414, blocked by a Windows bug.

Thanks. I couldn't read the MSFT report. I know you're using a shell extension. Experimenting with the registry-shell-command mechanism for directory\background and drive showed me that something was wrong. More experimenting led to a couple kludges (below) that make it work everywhere, that is, for drives and directory\backgrounds (including drive backgrounds). I have no idea why they work. Note the extra space and backslashes.

Edit: they don't paste right. Try a pic.
