Right click third party applications

Post by platanos »

Hi, I'm using Windows 7 64 Bits (just reinstalled) and XYplorer 9.90.0900. When I select some files and make right click some of third party applications installed are not displayed in the context menu (and they do appear in Windows explorer).

They are Malwarebytes Antimalware and File Renamer Turbo.

Also when I select one or more video files and make right click, WinRAR doesn't appear in the context menu, why? In Windows explorer I can see it.

Thanks for your help.

Malwarebytes Antimalware only installs a 64-bit shell extension, which XYplorer as a 32-bit appliction can't use as described in this FAQ. I'm not familiar with File Renamer Turbo.

As for WinRAR, that should install both 32- as well as 64-bit shell extensions. Do you happen to have Configuration > Extended > Default items only in shell context menu, enabled? Also, what is your WinRAR version?

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll have to wait to XYplorer 64 bits :D

WinRAR shell extension works with folders and other filetipes, but whit videos it doesn't appear. I use WinRAR 4.00 64 Bits and I don't have that option enabled (Configuration > Extended > Default items only in shell context menu, is disabled).

That's weird: I've checked with .avi, .wmv and .mp4 and in all three cases, the WinRAR options Add to archive, and Add to [filename].rar, are shown. A quick look at WinRAR's options didn't turn anything up.

Based on the changelog I don't expect it to make a difference, but I'm running WinRAR 4.01 beta 1.

In my case it doesn't show up, only play the files with VLC and WMP.
