I would suggest associating your text files back to Notepad and then re-associating them with TextPad, making sure you select the Always use this app to open .txt files check box. Or try the steps on this page: How to Change the Icon for a Certain File Type in Windows Also, you seem to have disabled...

1) There's no point upgrading to 6.5.0 or 7.6.4 unless you just want to stick with the free upgrades (which you could have done any time in the last 10 years!). If you're happy to pay for Version 8, it would be simplest to upgrade directly to 8.8.1. 2) If you already have a licence for 5.4.2, you do...

But just running TextPad without the -n will start it with an open empty document, so what does -n do?

I'm honestly gobsmacked. I never thought they would actually implement this after having been requested for more than 18 years!

That would be a good feature. Most of the major web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) do this too. As a rather weak substitute, you can click Mark All in the Find dialog to set a bookmark on each line that contains the search string. You can then use the Next Bookmark and Previous Bookmark commands i...

If you drag the Clip Library over the Document Selector, a cross-shaped cluster of five icons will pop-up. If you point to the top or bottom of those icons while dragging, the top or bottom half of the Document Selector will be shaded blue: https://i.imgur.com/eId8vpO.png If you release the mouse bu...

Feature requests are supposed to go in the Enhancement Suggestions board. Not that it makes much difference since hardly any of them ever get taken up.
