OS: Windows 10  
When I right click in Windows Explorer on a folder the option 'Mp3Tag' appears. Can you edit it so it **only appears when you click on a folder** OR on it only appears on .mp3, .flac, .wav (audio) files. Maybe in the settings a checkbox with the music formats and folders.  
I don't want it to appear when i right click on a .mp4 video for example.  
Thanks!

Use a "context menu editor" like [CCleaner](https://www.ccleaner.com/de-de/ccleaner/download/standard)\*\* to choose when Mp3tag (or any other program) appears on a right click.

\*\*CCleaner:  
Tools -\> Startup -\> Tab "Context Menu" -\> Enable, Disable or Delete context menu items which are needed or no longer needed for a directory, a drive, a folder or a file.

Or if you prefer the manual way:
