Textpad and Context Menu (2)

Similar to the topic "Textpad and Context Menu" from Aaron Watson.
My Context menu for Textpad does nothing. (Send To-> Textpad is OK..)
Anyone know where in the registry that lives and what the entry should be?
TIA
Regards
Ken

Look up HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers\Textpad
Note the (default) value (At my pc it's {2F25CF20-C569-11D1-B94C-00608CB45480})
Now go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\<value>\InprocServer32. The default value should point to <TP-dir>\system\shellext.dll

Excellent. Thank you Berend.
My <TP-dir> was missing.

I am having the same symptoms:
From Windows Explorer, double clicking associated files works fine, Send To Textpad works fine, but right clicking and selecting Textpad does nothing.
My registry settings are fine according to the previous posts. Anthing else it could be?
Windows 95 still. >:-(
Thanks.

I too, checked my registry per this post, and it was correct, but I still didnt have the shell extension when I right clicked a file.
I looked in C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\System\ for shellext.dll, but it didnt exist, so I did a google search for "textpad shellext.dll", and downloaded shellext.dll from somebody. I copied it into the correct directory, and it all works fine now.
