On my german win8-x64 i have an entry in the shell/explorer context menu: "Mit xnview MP durchsuchen" (browse with xnviewMP). Trying to browse i get an error: "Anwendung nicht gefunden" (application not found).
Settings/Integration/"Browse with ..." is always on, i cannot de-activate it, i.e. it always gets reset the the state of "activated" after re-opening the settings.
Settings is set to ".ini" file permanently. I cannot change it to write to the registry. When i try to do that and press "OK" the program crashes: "XNVIEWMP does not work any more. Close the program".
Please help.

Re: explorer context menu: "browse with ...." does not work
Thanks! Run as Admin solves he issue partially: this way it is possible to insert the entry into the shell context menu and remove it from it, but still the behaviour keeps strange, because as mentioned above....
I hope it is understandable from my description:
- i run xnviewmp as admin, de-activate the context menu under "integration", click "OK" to confirm
- "browse with..." disappears from the context menu
- i open settings/integration again and see "Add 'browse with...'" reset to activated (the rectangle ckeck mark active), and it always keeps check-marked
- now when i close settings/integration by pressing "OK" "Browse with..." gets inserted into the shell context menu again
...even though it apears or disappears on the shell context menu.nicky wrote: Settings/Integration/"Browse with ..." stays always on, i cannot de-activate it, i.e. it always gets reset the the state of "activated" after re-opening the settings.

This behaviur does not change when "run as Admin", it always crashes when trying to write settings to registry.nicky wrote: Settings is set to ".ini" file permanently.

No need to use admin rights here.
