How to customize Context Menu of BitLocker Encrypted Drives in Windows 10

In this article, we will show you how to customize the Contextual menu of BitLocker Encrypted drives in Windows 10, adding or removing action-specific commands. To do this, you must modify the Windows registry. But since this is a tedious process, we have created ready-to-use .reg (registry) files, which you just have to click to add the entries to your registry.

The context menu commands for BitLocker encrypted drives that we will add or remove are::

• Enable or disable BitLocker
• Manage BitLocker
• Lock or unlock the player
• Suspend or resume BitLocker protection.
• Change the BitLocker password.

It is recommended that you create a system restore point before continuing. In addition, you must be logged in as an administrator to add or remove items from the context menu.
