Macros lost opening file in Windows Explorer

Post by Stephen Mercer »

When I double click a text file (or any other file associated with TextPad) in Windows Explorer, a dialog box pops up saying it is unable to find the macros that I previously added to the Macros menu.

Can someone please advise me if there is a preference setting I need to make.

Some directories must've gotten moved for whatever reason. Figure out
where your macros are on your system by searching for *.tpm -- you'll need
to look in hidden directories. (On mine they're in C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\User).

Then go Configure | Preferences | Folders and make sure the Macros folder
points to the right place.
