Title: Shell Integration Not Honored
Post by: GHammer on June 02, 2004, 11:20:11 pm

In 144 and 145, the shell extentions are active even though I have deselected them in options.
If I right click an audio file, I see Play ni Media Center and Copy to CD or device.

Please fix this. In fact, why is it selected by default? The shell menus get so cluttered anymore. Every app wants 'their' piece of it.

Do you use XP?

I think--though not positive--that may be an XP feature.   Kind of like an MRU list for explorer. ;)

MC will create a submenu ("Media Center").  If you see no "Media Center" submenu, then this may not be MC's fault.

Again, though, I am not absolutely certain about this. :-\

145 works fine for me under XP - the behaviour's identical to 143.  I don't have a CD drive installed though.

I've just tried it on 144, complete with cd & dvd burners - no problem!

Very odd then.
If I right click on any media file, including APE and APL which WMP does not recognize, I get those commands listed.
If I click Play in Media Center, sure enough the file is played in MC 10.

Don't know why it does not do that for you, but it certainly does here.
