Problems Using Kleopatra to Decrypt Files in Windows Explorer

Kleopatra was successfully installed on my PC (running Windows 7, 64-bit).
 I successfully created a new certificate/key pair.  I can also
successfully decrypt a file from within Kleopatra via the "File" menu
(i.e., File, Decrypt/Verify Files, then pick the file, then key in
passphrase).  However, the "Decrypt/Verify" choice is not available to me
when I right-click on the encrypted file from Windows Explorer, which is
the way we used to do this in the 32-bit world using PGP.  I should be able
to open an Explorer window, go to the directory containing the encrypted
file(s), then right-click --> Decrypt/Verify.  That choice isn't even
available.

According to the documentation in the GPG4Win compendium, chapter 18 says I
should be able to do this using Kleopatra.  Here's the URL:

http://www.gpg4win.org/doc/en/gpg4win-compendium_24.html

In the subsection "Decrypting a file" it shows a screenshot immediately
after some text that says I can choose Decrypt and verify in the Windows
Explorer context menu.

Your help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Joe
