I had Mp3Tag 2.37f installed and had no problems, but after updating to 2.37h this happened:

Mp3Tag loads instead of the selected hard drive when left-clicking the drive as shown in the screen shot, or double-clicking a drive in Explorer. I uninstalled 2.37h and reinstalled 2.37a, but the problem persists. Help?

I'm not sure how you got this, but you can try to remove this by using the Windows Registry Editor.

Go to Start \> Run and type regedit. After that, navigate to HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\Folder\shell and remove anything related to Mp3tag. If this doesn't help, you can try this for the HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\Directory\shell registry key too.

Hope that helps!

Kind regards,  
Florian

There's nothing related to Mp3Tag in HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\Folder\shell, but there is an Mp3Tag entry under HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\Directory\shell. I deleted that, but it didn't do anything. Sorry about the delay getting back to you. I didn't get an email notification that this topic had been replied to. It might have gone into junk mail.
