Win10/11 Edit Menu Enabler and Default Program Setter

This program enables the "Edit" option in the right-click context menu for specific file extensions in Windows 11 and allows users to configure the default program for editing those files by modifying the Windows Registry.

Overview

Windows 10/11 allows configuration of default applications for various file types. However, the "Edit" menu item is not available by default for some extensions in the context menu. This program addresses that limitation by:

1. Adding the "Edit" option for selected file extensions.
2. Setting a default application (e.g., Kate, Notepad, etc.) for editing those files.

These changes are achieved through registry modifications.
