Context menu in Windows 7 - XP Mode

Textpad 7.09
When I right-click a file name in Windows 7 Pro x64 Explorer, the context menus includes Textpad. When I click on Textpad there, it starts Textpad and opens the file for editing. That is normal operation.
When I do the same in XP Mode, nothing appears to happen. I can edit the file by starting Textpad directly and then open the file in Textpad.
How can I make the context menu work normally to edit a file in XP Mode?

I think I solved this. I had desktop and start-menu shortcuts to the Windows 7 system drive instead of the virtual XP Mode system drive. Deleting the shortcuts, copying the setup file to the XP Mode system drive, and installing Textpad from there seems to have fixed the problem.
