Replace notepad selection is cleared

[ineuw]

Happy New Year everyone.

I am using Textpad v8.1.1 US English on Windows 7 and when using Bleachbit or Ccleaner to clear the cache, the setting for replace Notepad is cleared (use both and don't know which does this).

Can someone tell where this setting is, so that I can configure these programs to bypass this setting? Thanks.

For anyone interested, this is the registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\Notepad.exe\Debugger "C:\Program Files\TextPad 8\TextPad.exe" -n

The problem is that virus and malware scanners disable this key when scanning. Is there a solution to this?

Bleachbit
Ccleaner
virus and malware scanners

The obvious solution is: don't use that software if it doesn't give you an option to disable/skip such actions (speak: if they have more control over you than you over those).

disable this key

This is not possible. Change permissions to the key to read-only for everyone (and don't forget it once you need write access to it again in the future).

Thanks AmigoJack, and I agree with you. The software which caused this problem is Wise Registry Cleaner, where exceptions can be defined in the settings, but there is a bug and they are working to fix it.
