Maybe (untested!) you need to write
`MTTOOLSPARAM=/o /p=r /r="%%_path%%"`
or
`MTTOOLSPARAM=/o /p=r /r=%_path%`

~~Again: Please show us a screenshot.~~
The problem occurs if you manipulate the `tools.ini` file directly.
(You should not change it directly!)
If you enter the parameters in Mp3tag for Tools like this:
`/o /p=r /r="%_path%"`
Mp3tag translate it automatically and reusable to
`MTTOOLSPARAM=/o /p\u003dr /r\u003d"%_path%"`

Just for [completeness](https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php/Command_line_parameters):
The used command line parameters for Total Commander are
`/O` _If Total Commander is already running, activate it and pass the path(s) in the command line to that instance (overrides the settings in the configuration dialog to have multiple windows)_
`/P=` _Sets the active panel at program start: /P=L left, /P=R right. Unfortunately this does not work (v6.53) with the Parameter [/O](https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php?title=Command_line_parameters#/O) currently._
-\> The command line wiki page seems to be pretty outdated, TC is currently available as v11.03 stable and v11.50rc3 beta
`/R=` _Set path right window_
