you need to run textpad as an admin to allow it to modify the registry. it doesn't request perms correctly.

Not sure if it is just my workstation but when I tried to run textpad as an admin it would crash my explorer. I ran a command console as admin and ran textpad from the install location. registered fine.

good luck
