Add mp3tag to Context Menu

[JohnE_E]

Hi,

I would like to add mp3tag to the context menu for Everything. I have looked around here but could not find how to do it.

I would appreciate any help with this, please.

Thanks.

Everything uses the same context menu as Windows Explorer.

Does the mp3tag context menu show in Windows Explorer?

If so, please ensure Everything is running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Hi,

Thank you very much for this reply.

Sorry for the lack of detail in my initial post.

I was using Everything in my old PC setup running Windows 10, and mp3tag was in the context menu for Everything as well as Windows Explorer.

I have just moved to a new PC running Windows 11 and Everything is NOT showing mp3tag in the context menu for Everything, but it IS showing in the context menu for Windows Explorer.

I checked all of the setting that are listed in your reply, and these were exactly as are set on my setup of Everything.

So I am still having this problem.

Thanks so much for your help. Really appreciate it.

May be you are running a 32bit version of Everything
and the mp3tag comes from a x64 context menu handler.

The Mp3tag context menu item is only installed in the new Windows 11 simple context menu.
It is no longer installed in More Options context menu by default.

Everything currently only shows the "More Options" context menu. (not the simple Windows 11 context menu)

To install mp3tag into the More Options context menu, please run the following from an admin command prompt:

• From the Start menu, search for: cmd
• Right click Command Prompt
• Click Run as an administrator.
• Type in the following command and press ENTER:

  Code: Select all

  cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mp3tag"

  (where C:\Program Files (x86)\Mp3tag is your Mp3tag folder)
• Type in the following command and press ENTER:

  Code: Select all

  regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll
