Has this bug been abandoned? It's not a show stopper, but it would be nice if a new shellext.dll could be written so that the right-click on the context menu didn't crash out the whole explorer program.

Thanks for the pointer, but I've tried all that. Before moving to winME, I used to add shell cmds to the "*" and/or "unknown" file types, but in winME they now interfere with some of the other "open with" and "new" functions. This seems to be something going w...

Is it possible that this could be related to the failure of textpad to open files without crashing when the context menu is used?

I noticed since updating that the most recent available help file is from a couple years ago. Will there be a newer one soon?

Just updated to 4.7 to see if the context menu would finally start working. No luck. The registry entries are correct, the shellext.dll is ver. 1.3, but textpad never opens and shutting down the "not responding" task also closes the current window of 'windows explorer'. I'm on a win ME mac...

well, I tried just renaming the readme.txt file to readme.txt.old and the installation went OK - I noticed that the error msg said failure to create directory \program files\textpad\readme.txt - why the readme got involved with the directory name I don't know, but no directory was created, just a re...

I hope this isn't a silly question, but I tried to install into the
\program files\textpad\ folder where my previous version is, and it fails saying that it cannot overwrite readme.txt. Is this a problem with the installer or am I doing something wrong?
