Shell extension status not saved in config backuip

Preferences contains a section to enable/disable shell extensions.

(Part of the logic is that the extensions won't be the same ones or same versions on different machines, so it might not make sense to carry over blocks to new/different PCs.)

We might add an option to include them in config backups in the future.

Note that there are export and import functions in the page menu which do let you move the block list to another machine if you want:
