I think you missed a line there
	Folder
		Shell
			ContextMenuName
				command
					reg_expand_sz

>Can anyone help me get the folder name instead of the path of my exe? I thought the %1 is supposed to pass the path of the folder clicked, not my exe.

Command Prompt Here uses %1
PSP uses %L
Open and Explore both use %i and %L

Well, yeah, but by the time you get it, it's the folder name, not %1.

Other problem with your code:

>if (AnsiContainsStr(CommandLine,".mpd"))    // if someone opens database

Suppose I have a folder named "MyData.mpd"?
What if the file is  .MPD ?

You are probably better off taking whatever filename is passed to you,
and running it through something like FindFirstFile and checking the
attributes to see if it is a file or a directory. Then, if it is a
file, validate that it is a db file.
