Someone having an idea? I simply want to start mp3tag via SendTo. The shortcut in Sendto folder:

"..\mp3tag.exe /fp:"

does not work. Seems like Sendto does not properly pass a directory name. Does anyone have a solution with sendto or do I have to edit the context menu for explorer folders? (with mp3tag.exe /fp:"%1" I guess.)

Another problem is, I wanted to start it (with foo\_openwith) from inside fb2k. But fb2k doesn't have a function for the complete path WITHOUT the file name.

BTW, I registered with a typo before (Wusrtwasser), Admins may delete that account.

There should already be a context menu item called Mp3Tag for folders and audio files.

Try reinstalling Mp3Tag.

or alternativly this is the registry entry that will add Mp3Tag to a folder entry:

```
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Mp3tag]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Mp3tag\Command]
@="\"C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Mp3tag\\\\Mp3tag.exe\" \"/fp:%1\""

```

The "Send to" menu item should work with the latest Development Build too 🙂
