Took me a while to find it in Windows 11: It doesn’t show up in the right-click menu; I had to “Show more options” twice, and it shows up the second time, between (on my computer) “Back up to Dropbox” and “NVIDIA Control Panel.” Not sure it’s very useful, in my case. 🙁

Hi!

I just read about MyFolders in AskWoody and downloaded it for my Windows 7 sp1 64 bit system and got this message when I tried installing it:

This program does not support the version of Windows your computer is running.

I tried running it as Administrator, tested the compatibility, and nothing worked.

Any suggestions?

Many blessings to you,

Hank

The author’s page says; “For Windows 11/10/8 and Windows Server 2019/2016/2012 (32-bit & 64-bit)”: https://www.coretechnologies.com/products/MyFolders/

It’s a shame OlderGeeks doesn’t include this information.

The new (7.0) version says it’s for Win 11, and did get rid of the ‘every other time’ bug, but I still have to “Show more options” to get to it. If I force myself , I can likely get used to it, but I’m not sure it’ll save me much time—lemme take another look at all the ‘advantages’…

Waitaminit! I got my old right-click menu back by modifying the registry!

See https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-open-full-right-click-menu-by-default-windows-11/ for the method.
