Since I have installed 3.17 i have lost the attachment in the Windows 11 File Explorer where i could click on a folder and add before starting MP3tag.

Also rolling back to 3.11 same issue?

Is there a fix for that ?

Tks

You can try the solution from this topic:

> OK, as a last resort you can try manually registering the shell extension from a command prompt with admin rights: cd \<path to Mp3tag installation\> regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll

Ya that's out of my league. I don't understand why an uninstall reinstall won't fix it.  
Sorry this is how I use the program .  
It's quick .  
Great software

Yes, me neither — it's a big mystery to me and something I've already spent countless hours investigating. The possible solution I've linked to is the only thing I can offer at the moment.

Thanks that fix finally got it to work. Struggling to get cd "Program Files" as that must be in quotes to get into. All good now thanks great software.
