awxDTools Menu Disappears

If you use Daemon Tools chances are you also use the awxDTools which adds a nice little context menu whenever you right click on an image file so that you can easily mount disk images.

Well one problem that sometimes happens to me is that it mysteriously disappears. After some searching, I realized that it was a combination of PowerISO and MagicISO that were causing the problem. In MagiISO, I went to View > Settings. Then in the File Associations tab I clicked Clear All. This brought the icon back, but this isn’t absolutely necessary so if it didn’t do it for you don’t panic.

Next in PowerISO I went to Options > Configuration and unchecked Enable Shell Integration.

Now go to Start > All Programs > arniWORX > awxDTools > Re-Register Extension. This is like a ‘refresh’ of the extension on the system. Next, you might have to restart (Or you can terminate explorer.exe and start it over again but just restart if you’re confused). You should now see the menu again! If you’re wondering why I use both PowerISO and MagicISO it’s because stupid kids on the Internetz think it’s cool to upload all types of image files. PowerISO is the only one that supports DAA and MagiISO is the only one that supports UIF. Other than that, Daemon Tools supports any other one like Alochol’s MDF etc.
