The help file didn't help. It makes no mention of how to add BRU to the shell menu only how to access it.
Also I have the 64 bit version which is correct.
I meant:
Help > Additional Features > Bulk Rename HereWhen you install Bulk Rename Utility you have the option of installing "Context" menus.
If you choose this option (recommended), you will find a new Bulk Rename Here facility when
you right-click a file or folder within Windows Explorer.
Selecting this option will launch Bulk Rename Utility, and will automatically select the folder
you right-clicked (or the parent folder, if you right-clicked a file).
This provides quick access to the utility.
If you are using the favorites facility, and you have selected the option to automatically save favorites upon exit,
then please be aware that the folder name stored against the favorites will become the folder you right-clicked.
For reasons of performance, if you use the Bulk Rename Here right-click function then the Sub-folders flag
will be unticked, regardless of its stored setting.
This is to prevent situations where you choose a high-level folder (e.g. C:\) without realizing that a recursive
directory search is about to be performed.
The note regarding favorites above also applies here.
Doing It Manually - register the BRUHere.dll if you miss that context menu
(e.g. if you use the portable version and want to have that feature too, or to re-register in case of an misbehave)
If you wish to enable or disable the Bulk Rename Here helper manually, it's easy to do.
Assuming you installed Bulk Rename Utility into C:\Program Files\Bulk Rename Utility
then you have to enter the following into a command line (Start, Run, cmd) :
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Bulk Rename Utility\BRUHere.dll"
To un-register it again:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Bulk Rename Utility\BRUHere.dll"
This works also with relative paths:
- First go into C:\Program Files\Bulk Rename Utility
- then execute
regsvr32 BRUHere.dll
Attention: for Vista/Win7 with enabled UAC, open the DOS-box with elevated admin rights!!!! (right click the CMD.lnk and chose "Run As Admin")
The same if you install BRU with the installer: right click the setup and chose "Run As Admin")Please be sure to use the DLL to your matching operation architecture:
Bulk Rename Utility, version 2.7.1.2 for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2003, 2008, 2000, NT. Complete with installer.
Bulk Rename Utility (64-bit), version 2.7.1.2 for Windows 7 (64-bit), Vista (64-bit), XP (64-bit), 2003 (64-bit), 2008 (64-bit). Complete with installer
Updating from a previous version?
If you are updating Bulk Rename Utility from version 2.7.1.0 (or older), please uninstall it before installing the new version.
(Maybe also important to de-register the old BRUHere.dll and register the new DLL, perhaps from an different path too)
