How do I get right click menu link back?

[mingusal]

I run Windows 8 64-bit. I used to have mp3tag as a choice in my Windows Explorer right-click context menus. This was very convenient when editing tag information for a song or an album. However, after a Windows update, mp3tag disappeared from the menu options.

As I saw recommended elsewhere, I re-downloaded mp3tag and checked the option to have it show up in the right-click menus. In fact, I did it twice. But I still can't seem to get the option back. Anyone have any suggestions has to how I can restore an mp3tag option to these menus?

Yes. It seems that Windows 8 won't let you do it any other way.

OK, so the registry key and batch file didn't fix it.

What did work was downloading ShellExView and disabling then un-disabling mp3tag. But then I had to completely delete and reload mp3tag. Then mp3tag finally showed back up in the Explorer right-click context menu.
