Context menu problem

Post by ArgentStar »

Why is it that the context menu items in AS aren't the same as those in Windows Explorer (WeX)? The only reason I ask is that I prefer to use 7-zip rather than WinRAR, but 7-zip's context menu items ("Extract Here," "Open archive...," etc.) don't show up in AS. Whereas WinRAR's do. There are other menu items missing, too, but those are the ones I'm really interested in. :)

Is there a way around this? Is there a way to make the context menu inside AS identical to the context menu in WeX?

Many thanks for your help. :)

Do you happen to run a x64 version of Windows? Salamander, being an x86 application, shows the 32 bits version of the context menu.
If you have x64 7-zip installed, try installing x86 7-zip as well. :idea:

You can try to install same shell extensions in both x86 and x64 versions.
