1 The entries of the Windows 11 menu are listed, hidden and created. Their order up there belongs to Explorer, and the commands it builds in itself carry no registration to reach. 2 Your own entries always go to HKCU. Changing an entry that lives under HKLM needs elevation, and it is asked for that one step only.

Services it already knows

Pick one in the favourites tab and every field is filled in but the key. The list is a plain JSON file — adding a service is a pull request on a text file, not on Rust.

Anything not on this list is a form to fill in once, and the formats page says which shapes of API it can speak to. A service that describes itself through OpenAPI needs no form at all: paste the address and tick the tools.
