## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added the ability for users' admins' to display Windows built-in New or
not
I'm NOT aware of an official supported way to do this, so I'm achieving
this by adding an invalid context menu handler in place of New in the
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\New
Changes are immediate, after applying the change, built-in New is
shown/hidden accordingly
Updates to New+ Settings UI
New setting introduced to track user' preference (saved to
newplus/settings.json)
GPO setting introduced for control New visibility via GPO (GPO wins over
user preference)
Updates to New+ power_module.cpp
When runner is running new plus will also apply built-in New admin GPO
and user preference (GPO wins over user preference) to ensure correct
behavior on setting restore and GPO application.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added the ability for users' admins' to display Windows built-in New or
not
I'm NOT aware of an official supported way to do this, so I'm achieving
this by adding an invalid context menu handler in place of New in the
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\New
Changes are immediate, after applying the change, built-in New is
shown/hidden accordingly
Updates to New+ Settings UI
New setting introduced to track user' preference (saved to
newplus/settings.json)
GPO setting introduced for control New visibility via GPO (GPO wins over
user preference)
Updates to New+ power_module.cpp
When runner is running new plus will also apply built-in New admin GPO
and user preference (GPO wins over user preference) to ensure correct
behavior on setting restore and GPO application.
Updates to installer
Uninstall always reenable built-in "New" context menu
Updated DevDoc
Added a note on how to manually restore built-in New
## Validation Steps Performed
Windows 11 x64
Settings UI
New+ enabled
New+ disabled
GPO setting enabled

Manually updating newplus/settings.json

I tested the reg hack manually, but didn't go through a full pass.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added the ability for users' admins' to display Windows built-in New or
not
I'm NOT aware of an official supported way to do this, so I'm achieving
this by adding an invalid context menu handler in place of New in the
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\New
Changes are immediate, after applying the change, built-in New is
shown/hidden accordingly
Updates to New+ Settings UI
New setting introduced to track user' preference (saved to
newplus/settings.json)
GPO setting introduced for control New visibility via GPO (GPO wins over
user preference)
Updates to New+ power_module.cpp
When runner is running new plus will also apply built-in New admin GPO
and user preference (GPO wins over user preference) to ensure correct
behavior on setting restore and GPO application.
Updates to installer
Uninstall always reenable built-in "New" context menu
Updated DevDoc
Added a note on how to manually restore built-in New
## Validation Steps Performed
Windows 11 x64
Settings UI
New+ enabled
New+ disabled
GPO setting enabled
GPO settings disabled
Manually updating newplus/settings.json

I tested the reg hack manually, but didn't go through a full pass.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added the ability for users' admins' to display Windows built-in New or
not
I'm NOT aware of an official supported way to do this, so I'm achieving
this by adding an invalid context menu handler in place of New in the
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\New
Changes are immediate, after applying the change, built-in New is
shown/hidden accordingly
Updates to New+ Settings UI
New setting introduced to track user' preference (saved to
newplus/settings.json)
GPO setting introduced for control New visibility via GPO (GPO wins over
user preference)
Updates to New+ power_module.cpp
When runner is running new plus will also apply built-in New admin GPO
and user preference (GPO wins over user preference) to ensure correct
behavior on setting restore and GPO application.
Updates to installer
Uninstall always reenable built-in "New" context menu
Updated DevDoc
Added a note on how to manually restore built-in New
## Validation Steps Performed
