This may work for you, but the short pathnames and filenames may not be valid for some people - I suspect. For example, depending on how many versions of TextPad they had installed, and the order in which they insatlled them - TEXTPA~1 may represent \TextPad 3\ or \TextPad 5\ or \TextPad 4\ [It did ...

The Textpad icon is missing. There must be another registry key to be added.

Anyone know what is needed?

The registry fix (context menu / right-click on a file) fixes this.

Context menu in Windows Explorer, for Windows XP , etc (Right-click) Taken verbatum from the Vista post , So..having problems getting TextPad to be listed on the file context menu in windows Vista? Yes, me too. 4.73 & 5.00 don't put them on the main context menu and the other thread referencing ...

That's a kludge, if ever I saw one. I mean this Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\TextPad] @="&TextPad" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\TextPad\command] @="cmd /c start /max textpad.exe \"%L\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\TextPad] @=&quo...

It's a text file, lines ending Unix-wise. I can open this with Notepad on Window...

Perhaps the developers could put together a simple .reg file that fixes all of these problems? Hacking the registry is not a great way to go, but supplying a ZIP file with a .reg file, and clear & simple instructions, would keep a lot of people reasonably happy until all the fixes are done and a...

OK - I'll try hacking the registry, changing the GUID and the path. Tomorrow (it's late here in Oz). Thanks for that. I think being able to use the shell contextmenu is one of the more useful features for a texteditor. And I thought I saw a note about SendTo also having Textpad5 as a target (it does...

Doesn't work well with shell extensions - the textpad 4 registry settings are still in place (I think they should all have been cleared out), and the ContextMenuHandler settings for Textpad4 are useless (of course they do not work with Textpad5). eg - Changing the path and the name of the DLL doesn'...
