DragDropNormalizer

In Windows 10 version 22H2 Microsoft (intentionally?) broke the design of the overlay that appears while you dragging a file - it become solid-white with ugly corners, while it always has been semi-transparent.

This little tool runs at startup for a few milliseconds without need in adminstrator rights and patches the style in-memory, returning the look that was present in older Windows versions, more specifically - in Windows 11 version 21H2.

The distribution which can be downloaded from Releases includes batch files, which can be used for automatic installation and registering for running at startup.

Use ContextMenuNormalizer to make so-called immersive context menus, that is used in classic File Explorer (i.e. "Show more options") and the rest of classic menus look consistent.
