How lethudu70/win11-context-menu-swapper works

Context Menu Swapper V4 is a Windows desktop utility for switching between the classic context menu and Windows’ default behavior. The main workflow runs from the Qt window through registry inspection, backup, verified changes, and persistent undo; users can optionally restart Explorer afterward. Separate branches provide Windows-system detection, experimental elevated HKLM operations, and targeted cleanup and diagnostic export. Relationships involving omitted window handlers are shown only where README documentation supports them or are left unverified.
