opening files and dde

Hello all,

I'm searching for an easy way to have textpad open all my documents without using dde by default

I want that because if i enable dde it opens the subwindows in the already opened textpad session

When i use the right clic=>open with textpad, or choose textpad in the "open with" dialogue it always gets opened through dde:/

If anyone knows, please tell me


Thanx,


Paul-Kenji Cahier

yeah but that's not really my prob
what i want is to really force it to open a new session everytime it opens a file(in the same manner as notepad does).
That shellext thread only explains how to have it go fast:/

i found a manual trick for the associated file, gotta go in the registry and force a non dde opening, but that's quite dirty, and it wont work for the context menu, so i dont really know what to do:/
