I can't use Add right-click option to shell explorer option

[Lajt]

I can't make it checked.

bindip-0.5 release on windows 7.

This would be nice feature to use, currently i use console to start my exe's.

Run it as admin, then you should be able to click the option.

I run it as admin, even tried changing compatibility to xp but nothing helps.

Is there any different way to add that? like registry change or something.

The key is HKCU\Sfotware\Classes\Open with BindIP\command, and its value is "path\to\bindip.exe" "%1" (look at other keys in Classes to get exact structure).

The option won't enable if something prevents the key being created. The code responsible is https://github.com/katlogic/bindip/blob/master/bindip.c#L236 - you might want to try it in standalone program to figure out why it fails.

Mine was because the path it was looking for (HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Classes\\exefile\\shell") didn't exist in my registry. Once created it was able to successfully create the registry keys it needs.

I did what @StormPooper suggested and it worked for me as well.
