It turns out, thanks to Andy, Herbert & Rudy, that Windows 10 is DIFFERENT
than Windows 11 in that the specific save-path-to-clipboard right-click in
the middle of a save from modern app-included Windows filesystem browsers
exist, by default, in Windows 11 but not in Windows 10 (by default).

Hence, this registry script will be most useful to Windows 10 owners for
that particular feature, and useful to both Win10/Win11 for the others.

   Rightclick anywhere when in the middle of saving a file:
    [Copy Path to Clipboard]
    [Open CLI Window Here]
    [Open File Explorer Here]

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
 
 ; --- Open File Explorer Here ---
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\OpenExplorerHere]
 @="Open File Explorer Here"
 "Icon"="imageres.dll,-5302"
 
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\OpenExplorerHere\command]
 @="explorer.exe %V"
 
 ; --- Open Command Window Here ---
