What I despise about regedit is you have to know what magical keys exist to change functionality, of it doesn’t exist already. Unless I’m missing something. Or there’s documentation.
There really isn’t any documentation for all of it because it’s essentially just a variable storage. So any program can add things to the registry in anyway they want. I’m sure with windows specific ones there are some docs around them.
Well, Microsoft is not Apple, and historically they’re keeping settings for decades
I think they just want to overhaul the files option dialog which is basically unchanged since windows XP and for regular people those options are confusing
But on the other side Microsoft is slowly becoming like Apple (if an option disappears, next year is gone for good) so your point is valid
Temporarily. The only reason I can think of to remove the UI is that they intend to also remove the feature it controls, and just haven’t done it yet.
A lot of things are only available through the registry.
