Hi,

Just a minor fix/feature/QoL or whatever.

It really was kinda annoying to need to straight up reload Windows Explorer every time I misconfigured something in the config file, at some point when I was experimenting and misconfigured stuff all the time, Explorer was freaking out after 5-6 resets, and I had to restart Windows altogether.

So I asked ChatGPT to fix it, which it gladly did.

Now if there's any misconfiguration in the config file, Nilesoft shell will revert as it usually does to the normal Windows Explorer context menu. But next time it's invoked with a right click, it'll notice if the config file has changed, and will attempt to reload it automatically, no need to restart Windows Explorer. Just correcting/revert the error configuration and save the file.

Doesn't monitor the file live, so you will have to right-click for it to re-check. Manual config reload works as it's done, no changes.
