install missing in context menu

Someone once led me to a site with a patch to repair the missing inf Install
in the context menu. does anyone know it?

You'll need the .INF association fix, that you can download from Doug's
site:

Yep, that was it. Thank you. I looked through all my favorites and went to
that site a couple of times and could not find the fix. But I found it this
time.

Well, I thought that would work, but it didn't. I have it working on another
machine and I thought that this fix was the one that fixed it. But on my
master machine, even with a reboot, there still is no install on the context
menu.
