4.6 Explorer context menu problem

Under 4.5, Textpad was on the right click for all files. After installing 4.6, it is no longer there and can't be turned on because Preferences -> General -> Context menu is disabled. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Fixed it. Ended up being a missing "TextPad 4\System\shellext.dll" file. I have no idea how it came up missing after installing 4.6, but I copied the file from another computer with Textpad 4.5 and it worked.

I have the same problem -- but in my case shellext.dll is present. Replacing it with the one from TP4.5 didn't help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I had same symptoms and registry was ok and file shellext.dll was there. I removed and reinstalled the Preferences -> General -> Context menu and all is ok now.
