Hi!
I have just completed a full system restore on my Toshiba laptop. I have re-installed TextPad and associated it with .txt files (and some others) but these file do not show the TextPad icon. I have looked on Annoyances.com and tried various solutions there with no effect.
In Win Explorer (Tools>Folder Options>... TXT files are associated with TextPad and the correct icon is shown there but not in the Win Explorer panel.
Any thoughts, its only a minor problem, but it worked before!
Regards,
Peter

In order to apply the TextPad icon to a file type, you need to make the association in TextPad, rather than in Explorer. Please implement the following procedure:
From the Configure menu choose:
1. Preferences
2. Associated Files
3. Add the file extension
4. Click Apply / OK.
In Explorer:
From the Tools menu in Explorer choose:
1. Folder options
2. File types
3. Select the file extension from the list
4. Click on Advanced
5. Change Icon
6. Select the TextPad icon
7. Click OK
Thanks for that, all is well again. I had totally forgot to do this. I have had to restore my laptop and re-install all the software and must of had a 'seniors moment'.
While your there, I would like to say that I really appreciate the work done on TextPad. I would like to swap over to Linux but can't find anything equivalent to:
So I am stuck with Windows. Are there any new developments comming for textPad?
Regards,
Peter
