Isn't that the same as uninstalling from Add/Remove (which is what the error message instructs you to do anyway)?

It's not "free". If you mean the upgrade is free to registered users who already paid, that's always been the case. And I agree; this is version 5.5.

Thanks, but didn't find any network references there. Any idea where those settings are stored?

TextPad takes almost a minute to start up on my work PC the last few weeks, even when starting a clean session without opening a file. It doesn't use any CPU time during the delay. I suspect a reference to a slow or offline network share. I removed such a network entry from the recent file list, but...

Let's say I want to open .sqr files in TextPad. I go to Configure > Preferences > Associated Files and add the .sqr extension. I open Explorer and navigate to a folder with a bunch of .sqr files. I double-click file1.sqr. Up comes TextPad with file1.sqr. I go back to Explorer and double-click file2....

Logitech and Microsoft? About 99% of mice of any brand have it now.

When a Java program compiled successfully, the message "Tool completed successfully" used to come up but disappear immediately. The tool output window only stuck around if there was an error. That's exactly how I want it. In recent versions of TextPad, the successful tool output window sta...

Did you ever find a way to get classic menus and toolbars? The new, custom ones seem clumsy and slow, and the submenus ignore the Windows MenuShowDelay setting and instead use a hard-coded delay. I want submenus to pop up instantly.

I dislike 5 and reinstalled 4 for other reasons. You can still find 4.7.3 on the download page though:

I want just the opposite -- always open a new instance since tabs aren't much use to me (that's what the Windows taskbar is for). When I associate a new file extension from inside TextPad, the default behavior is to use an existing instance. I force it to open a new window by going into the XP file ...

This is also a major annoyance for me. The first window I open is coming up maximized, but subsequent windows aren't. Another work-around is "start /max textpad", but it's an ugly hack and briefly brings up a command prompt. I just installed 5 today, and I can't believe this problem is sti...

Okay, I assume it's the same problem reported here: http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?t=8055&highlight=maximized However, I'm still curious if anyone has a better way to get files to open in new TextPad windows. I shouldn't have to play around with the Windows file type settings. And yes, ...

I don't use tabs for web browsing, editing, etc. since that's what the Windows taskbar is for. I like each file to open in a separate, maximized TextPad window, but it's not working as well in version 5. First of all, I get files to open in a new window (instead of an existing one) by unchecking &qu...
