how do i make links open in my default browser?

they used to work, but stopped a few weeks ago.
links in emails still work.

TP 5.4
win10pro64 v2004
chrome Version 89.0.4389.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)

i hit ctrl+f and the textpad window loses focus then nothing happens when i click alt+space, but windows makes a bong sound.

when i hit ctrl-f or click the find icon, the focus shifts but the find form does not appear. i suspect it is opening off screen somewhere. this started happening after a windows update.
win 7 pro 64, textpad 5.4

i am following the instructions exactly. i'v e selected the document class 'text'.
i've noticed that new documents do follow the new settings. how do i get old ones to do the same?

i have followed the instructions in help, How to Customize Fonts, but nothing changes on the screen.
what am i missing?

my textpad installation has suddenly started putting a 'new line' at the word wrap point when the file is saved. this of course breaks a long url. it does the same thing to non-url long lines i am sure it didn't used to do this. what could cause this and/or how can i fix it?

I have found that you need to set the preferences when all documents are closed. Then restart TextPad and settings will be retained.

i have customized textpad extensively and thus would like to backup my settings. i sometimes experience a system shutdown while textpad is running and this results in the loss of my settings. i keep a copy of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0\config.xml and also ...

wow, yes that worked. thanks for the help.

but why is this so obtuse!! i hope the authors are monitoring this exchange.

i put them everywhere i could think of and one of the places was the default path defined in preferences, but they still don't show up in the macros menu.

how can i backup my customization of textpad 5?

is keeping a copy of C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0\config.xml sufficient?

i have some 4.7 macros that i would like to use in 5.0. where do i put them? i tried copying them [MACRO3.TPM ,etc] to C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0\ etc, which is where the config.xml file is, but textpad doesn't see them.
