Right-Click - Open with > Textpad wants to create a folde

Post by WESTERN WOMBAT »

5.0.3, w/o hacking the registry.

I have a .log file (named iso19115_proceso.log) created in C:\Program Files\IME_V4_0\ - it's not read-only, but it is temporary I think - it only appears when I'm running an application. It's a text file, lines ending Unix-wise.

I can open this with Notepad on Windows XP, by the way.

With Textpad 5.x, if I Right-Click - Open with > Textpad, TP5 wants to create a folder C:\Program ( :twisted: )

If I dismiss the messagebox (I'm not game to say YES), TP5 wants to create the fully-pathed file itself - even more scary.

So, I say NO, and use Notepad.

Is this a known problem?

Fixed

The registry fix (context menu / right-click on a file) fixes this.

:D
