On Windows 7, the Open in new window context menu item for folders can be removed from the right-click context menu by adding a LegacyDisable
value to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\opennewwindow

How can I disable the opennewwindow
registry key without disabling the Win+E shortcut?
