I also have the opposite problem. I’ve been playing with settings and I was able to get it to show “enqueue in winamp” if I right click on a folder, but if I right click on an mp3, I can’t get it to show enqueue in winamp.” What should I do?

I’m using 64bit Vista.

i did that and it did not change the menu on an mp3 file, if I did a right click on the mp3 file it still listed play in winamp and enqueue. trust me I went the simple route first.

@elephant: For that case you could also just disable the options in the Winamp File Types preferences.

I was looking to see how to disable the shell menu when you right click on, for example, an MP3 file, this doesn’t remove the PLAY IN WINAMP or ENQUEUE, I did discover on my own how to accomplish this task. Simply go to this path in the registry
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Winamp.File.MP3] and delete the entire key. That will delete the shell for MP3s only, if you want to do it to other files like Ogg Vorbis, just delete the associated extensions. Remember to back up your registry before deleting anything from it, even if you’re experienced.

I actually have the opposite problem here. I want Enqueue in Winamp to show up, but I can’t get it to. Not by running as Adminstrator or otherwise. Running 32bit Vista.

Thanks for this article! Exactly what I needed… I hadn’t even guessed about the administrator privileges causing this.

To the poster above (Dee), I’m guessing you’ll need to reinstall Winamp, then follow the instructions on this page, then uninstall it.

hello…

i was searching online trying to find the solution to my problem and i got directed to this article

i hope you can help me and here is my problem:

I have a windows vista home edition with the winamp 5.531 version installed in it.

I’ll be giving my pc to my grandma and I want to remove as many programs as possible since she is not that savvy with computer so that she doesn’t get confused.

My problem now is that, I have already un-installed winamp properly but everytime I right-click a video or mp3 file it shows the Enqueue and Play options. I need to have them removed.

HELP please
