I have a problem with Windows 11 Pro where I changed the program icon for TextFile 9.7.1 (and prior version of 9).
The preview won't display.

How can I remedy that?

Multiple Instances - problem

I may be a bit dense, but I have been able to allow multiple instances to run in previous versions of TextPad 7 and 8, but due to a problem on my desktop I now have an install of TextPad 8.14.2 on a new Windows 10 laptop.

I probably need a step by step description of what is needed in Preferences ...

How to configure TextPad so that ASC file behaves like TXT

I have configured TextPad 8 to open plain text files that have the file extension .ASC.
TextPad 'overrides' Notepad of course.

If a (plain text) file is created, no name at this stage, then saved as .ASC rather than .TXT, the word-wrapping and very convenient property that TextPad has, to display ...

Solved
Unrelated to TextPad - it is a problem with another program, which I have uninstalled and removed traces in registry.

Yes, it was an ArcSoft application, and yes I omitted the Ac from the messagebox title.

Thanks for the reply (did not see it until now).

Shutdown error

Is this problem reported by other users of TextPad ?

I have a registered version of textpad 64-bit, v8.8.1

When I shut down or restart Windows 10, I often have TextPad open but all tabs (documents) already saved to disk.

I am getting a popup error when Windows tries to close all open programs ...

Bad registry entries

SysInternals RootkitRevealer reports that 14 registry keys (relating only to placement of windows, etc) are 'wrong' - at least, by a currently ongoing scan on my Windows XP Pro system.

The actual message is -
Windows API length not consistent with raw hive data

I can't see that this would affect ...
