help...winamp doesn't show in my explorer context menu!

pin2 · 30th March 2009, 05:23

hi guys.

i've been using the latest version(v5.551) of winamp and i noticed that all the winamp entries are missing in the explorer context menu(eg play in winamp,enqueue...) when right-clicking the mp3 files. they are present in other types of files such as .m3u and folders. and i've made sure that winamp is associated with .mp3 extension, winamp agent is enabled and most entries in the "windows explorer menu control"are highlighted.
it's been bothering... any ideas?

btw my os is vista ultimate sp1 x86.
and winamp is installed in my administrator account.
i tried uninstall and reinstall but that didn't help.

any help will be appreciated...thanks.

the options are checked already but it still doesn't show in the context menu...like i said before...
it works for folders but not individual files...

I'm having the same problem.

I'm running 64bit vista ultimate and recently upgraded to the newest winamp.
The settings for file type and shell options all indicate I should see something in the context menu, but there's nothing there. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and logging on as admin to try all the above with no success.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
