I'm a long-time mp3tag user. Since updating to 2.42 I've noticed that when I'm in file explorer in windows (XP, SP3, all updates), when right clicking on an audio file, mp3tag is no longer one of my program options. I can select other programs, and eventually select mp3tag, but it was nice when it was automatically one of my options. Any thoughts on how I make this work again?

Run the installer again and make sure to select the context menu option.
