I recently had to switch computers, and after installing TextPad on the new system and entering my license key, my Preferences / General / "Context menu" option is grayed out, so TextPad doesn't show up on my right-mouse context menu.

I've tried exporting Registry settings from the old box and moving to the new, reinstalling TextPad from scratch, etc., but nothing seems to work. I'm shortly going to have to wipe the old drive, so I need to figure out what's keeping this option from being available. (I use it a lot.)

Any suggestions? I'm using TextPad 4.7.3 on Windows XP.

In case anyone's able to help, one more note.

If I install TextPad "clean", I have no problem. It's not until I import my Registry dump from the old computer that the checkbox turns gray.

I assume this is something related to Windows security, but any guidance from a TextPad perspective would be appreciated. (I am an Admin on my box, so I'm not sure what the problem is.)
