Nilesoft Shell Config

---

Structure

• imports/core → environment, icons, theme
• imports/features → actual menu features
• imports/features/modules → imported directly into features

Install

1. Copy files into your Nilesoft Shell config folder
2. Replace your existing shell.nss
3. Restart Explorer / CTRL+Right-Click

Notes

• Tested on Canary - https://nilesoft.org/download/shell/shell-canary.zip
• This config is what I personally use, there are some items you probably want to edit or delete.

Optimize for better performance (optional)

I recommend blocking slow-loading entries by their GUID in the registry. The remove item and vis=disable property only hides the entry.

GUID Keys Detection

1. Select the desired object(s) you want to analyze
2. Hold Alt and Right-Click
3. Check shell.log for timing results

GUID Keys Registry Locations:

• Non-UWP Applications: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
• UWP Applications: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PackagedCom\ClassIndex

GUID Keys Block:

• Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked (If not already present, create a new key named Blocked)

• Add a new String Value (REG_SZ) and name it with GUID in brackets. Example: {8BCF599D-B158-450F-B4C2-430932F2AF2F}

• Use the Data field to describe what you're blocking in plain text.
