Lost VLC from context menus

[Dimitri]

I recently installed a new version of winamp and during the installation i unchecked adding winamp to context menus and for some reason VLC was also removed from context menus.

How can I get it back?

Did you try re-installing VLC?

 

[Dimitri]

I haven't I was hoping there would be a quicker fix than that.

It would have been a lot faster than making a thread

Plus the installer gives you the option to automatically associate all relevant file types as opposed to managing them manually.

But, wouldn't that make the registry untidy or something like that? I heard that a lot of installing and uninstalling is not good (I know you were partly joking, I'm just curious).

There's nothing wrong with it. Overtime it builds of dead registry keys and system files, but you can just clean those up with ccleaner.

It's fine. When you install it I believe there is an option to clear all previous VLC settings and start fresh as well.
