I just got done installing the latest version of VDMSound (2.1) and the shell integration isn't always coming up for some EXE's. The specific problem I'm having is in trying to run Ultima 8 (from Ultima Collection). The integration shows up for U8.EXE, INSTALL.EXE, and even U8.BAT, but not for U8WIN9X.EXE which is a home-brew executable to get U8 to run under newer OSes. According to the Windows Property sheet for U8WIN9X.EXE it shows up as a standard executable. But for some reason VDMS just doesn't want to attach itself.

Anyone got any clue why?

Windows reports that .exe as a non-DOS (i.e. a Windows) executable. To run it anyway make a .bat that runs it or drag-n-drop the .exe over an existing VDMSound shortcut.
