Remove context limit on Win 10
I did this on Win 8 and 11, the limit of 16 is just stupid IMO. There are 17 photos I want to open with an app at the same time. But I looked in the Registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer
as the Microsoft site says - and the required key, MultipleInvokePromptMinimum (usually set to 15), isn't there!
I added it (BACKING UP THE REGISTRY FIRST!) and rebooted, but I still couldn't select more than 15 items and right-click to Open With, as that disappeared from the context menu. Am I missing something?
- Yes, I am: it's just that Open doesn't say Open With <app name>, but it does work. Oops.
Um, no, it doesn't - it opened one file, not all 17. My question still stands, therefore.

Re: Remove context limit on Win 10
It doesn't. Worse, somehow it's stopped working in 11! I select 17 files, and 'Open With' is nowhere to be seen! Paint allows it, but not Krita!
In fact, if I select more than one file, 'Open With' is absent!

Re: Remove context limit on Win 10
Does this help?
I haven't got it to work myself as I was trying to set it up for Windows Photo Viewer but I can't find the .exe for it.

Re: Remove context limit on Win 10
Hmm. To my utter amazement (I'm generally amazed when anything works on Windows, especially if it's out of the ordinary), it did work. Thanks!
