Hello,
Foobar, or something, is behaving peculiarly in Windows explorer. If I select up to 15 files at once, I can click 'play in Foobar 2000' at the top, or right-click and select 'play in F' or 'enqueue in F'. But if I select more than 15 tracks at once, all these options disappear (and aren't replaced by a WMP option or similar). This also applies if I right click on a folder containing more or less that 15 tracks; less, I can select play etc; more, I can't.
Any ideas why this might be happening, and how I can fix it? It's not a great problem; I can use the album ilst etc to find and play stuff in Foobar itself. But it it rather irritating.
Thanks!

There is no "fix" for that.
Windows Vista introduced this limitation for context menu entries that don't come from a dedicated shell extension.

It's there so you don't accidentally run 35 exes or open 30 photoshop PSDs, grinding your system to oblivion. I found it annoying first, but I saw the point of the limitation.
And honestly, if I want to enqueue so many files at once its simpler to just go up one folder and then enqueue the folder itself.

Thanks for the replies, at least I won't waste time trying to find a solution now.
OK, I can see the justification too. For some reason, it sometimes works going up a level and enqueuing the entire folder, sometimes not. Still, as I said, no big deal...
