Launch speed fast as notepad

[renatoch]

Just that.
It takes too much time to launch textpad.
"Speedy launch" can have less features at first, load in background afterwords.
And when speed lauching, a text only interface like notepad is cleaner.

Textpad launches in less than a second here (on several systems) ...

TextPad has never take more than a split-second to load for me.

Takes more than 30 seconds to load for me. It didn't use to, not sure what's going on. It got slower and slower over time. I uninstalled, cleaned my registry, reinstalled --- no improvement. I do not have the dockable explorer window open, either.

Maybe it's a difference in versions. I still use 4.7.3 specially because it is small and does what I need. Does the 5.x line use .net? If it uses that crud, I could see why it would take 30 seconds to load.

Textpad 5.4.1 launches in less than a second here ...

I managed to fix it. Here is what I did:

- uninstalled Textpad
- deleted textpad install folder
- ran registry cleaner
- rebooted machine
- ran registry cleaner again
- installed to a location that did not have any spaces in any of the folder names.

Now it loads like it used to, subsecond.
