This option is disabled by default in the installer. Re-install and make sure you have the "Explorer Context Menu" option checked.
If that still doesn't work, check the file associations in FileTypesMan ([http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file\_types\_manager.html](http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html)), if it shows up there then you have something else preventing them from showing in the context menu. If they aren't in FileTypesMan either, you can add them manually to the file types you want.
