When I start text pad via the double click of a file I'm getting the following two popup's

------------------------------------------------------
OK to create
C:\...path of the file...\4\TextPad.exe

yes/no
------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------
OK to create
C:\...path of the file...\the file name

yes/no
------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas why it is doing this and what I can change to make it stop?

Thanks,

Your file name has probaby got spaces in it. Please try the following procedure:

1. From the Configure menu, choose Preferences;
2. Select the General page on the Preferences dialog box;
3. Clear the checkbox against "Allow multiple files on the command line"
4. Click OK.

I hope this helps.

Look under File Manager - View - Options - File Types
Find the extension of the file you are double clicking, let's say it's .txt
Click on Edit
Click on Open
Click on the new Edit
paste the following line, includding the quote signs, but replacing Y: with your drive:

"Y:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe" "%1"

Thanks - adding this new edit line did the trick!
