Hi Mike,
I thought it was only Enqueue and Play you were missing, but you also don't
have any of the default Winamp entries such as Play in
Winamp, Enqueue in Winamp and Add to Winamp's Bookmark list.
In the File Types options, ensure that Show Winamp actions in the Folder
Context Menus is checked. If that doesn't do it, let me
know.
Thanks,
Barry Chapman

Subject: RE: enqueue and play does not show in context menu
Hi Barry,
Well, I just tried the steps you mentioned in your above email, and when I
went to the file menu after highlighting an mp3 file, I found the following
Items in the file menu:
1. Add to Windows Media Player List
2. Play
3. Scan with Microsoft Security Essentials Dialog
4. Open with Pull-down
5. Scan with Malware bytes Anti-malware
6. Shared folder cyncronization
7. Send to pull-down
8. New pull-down
9. Create shortcut
10. Delete
11. Rename
12. Properties
13. Close
These were all I saw within this menu. There was still no Enqueue and play
option. I don't understand why this isn't working. I found a blog post that
someone who had this same problem. The only difference was that they didn't
have ths issue until they switched from Windows XP to Windows 7. They said
that when they used this option with XP, it worked fine. I have XP, so I'm
not sure why things aren't working for me. I've pasted the blog posting
below so that you can see what I'm referring to. I'm just an average
computer user, so I don't really mess around with my operating system's
settings. The reason I'm trying to get Winamp to place a track directly
below an already existing one, is because I'm in the process of trying to
get a dj position with ACB Radio, and they use Winamp for broadcasting.
Being able to insert tracks erlier in the playlist rather than at the bottom
of it, is ecential, especially if people email me with requests. This way,
I'll be able to play what they ask for in a more reasonable time frame
without them having to wait through multiple songs. It seems like it should
be a simple thing to figure out, but then you know how technology is (smile)
Hope the blog post will make at least a little sense. Thanks for taking the
time to assist me with this.

Enqueue In Winamp not showing in context menu for files - SOLUTION
I used to have XP for quite some time and the enqueue in winamp used to show
up in
the context menu just fine. Then I moved on to Windows 7 and the enqueue in
winamp
option disappeared from the context menu even I had setup winamp correctly
for it.
After doing some digging, I narrowed down all the possible causes for this
behavior
to one program and one simple solution to bring the Enqueue in Winamp back
to the
context menu. And that one program which is messing the enqueue in winamp in
the
context menu is Windows Media Player. It seems that somehow it uses brute
force to
take over all enqueue options for audio files to itself. (Or the context
menu simply
has hardcoded limit how many options it can show in the first section) But
whatever
the case is the solution is here.
BEHOLD THE SIMPLE SOLUTION:
1.
At first you want to make sure your winamp is setup correctly. That means
you have
"Show Winamp in the folder context menus in Windows Explorer" option
selected under
Options -> Preferences -> File Types.

2.
Then go to the Shell Options and make sure you have Enqueue in Winamp
selected for
files. In the following picture you can also see that even the options are
selected
the Enqueue in Winamp isn't showing on the context menu.

3. The you need to follow this simple guide how to disable Windows Media
Player aka
WMP from showing in the context menu.

And just in case that site for some reason disappears I'll quote it here:

Windows 7 can do much more than many people think. Do you know of the

control panel for example?
1. Click on Start and click on Default Programs (optionally enter default
programs
into the search field)
