there's an option to add "browse with xnview" to windows explorer. I check that box, then I right click on a folder in windows explorer. No "browse with xnview" is found.
If I exit xnview and run it again, the "browse with xnview" is unchecked.
The "send to xnview" option works though.
I'm using win vista.

Try this. Right click XnView shortcut or executable and select "Run as administrator" from the menu. Then enable the "browse with" context menu from the settings and close XnView. This way the context menu shoud stick.
If you you want to disable the context menu later you need to run XnView as administrator again.

Works! Thanks.
I wish a helpful dialog would pop up with this info inside xnview when I tried to do this without run as admin.
