File explorer rate column

Question

The File Explorer rate column appears to be enabled for only a certain number of file types.&nbsp; For example, it works with MP4 files, but not with MPG files.&nbsp; Is there a way to enable the rate column for MPG files in the registry?

Hi,I tried adding Rating column to Windows Explorer in a folder containing various file types, including one picture that I manually renamed its extension to be .mpg, the rating column still was there.

HotCakeXIt isn't a matter of whether the column appears in File Explorer.&nbsp; Even when that column appears in a folder, it is disabled for MPG files, but enabled for MP4 files.&nbsp; I would like to be able to enable the rating column so that I can rate MPG files and perhaps other file types that are currently disabled.

Well file rating has issues, im on insider fast ring and I can't even rate PNG files.the whole rating procedure is also too hard. have to right-click on files and go to properties then rate and click apply and exit. too much work to do for something so simple
