Context menu registry fix (not just for Vista)

[WESTERN WOMBAT]

Context menu in Windows Explorer, for Windows XP , etc

(Right-click)

Taken verbatum from the Vista post,

So..having problems getting TextPad to be listed on the file context menu in windows Vista? Yes, me too. 4.73 & 5.00 don't put them on the main context menu and the other thread referencing launching TextPad as admin and selecting the context menu didn't work for me.

Save the following code as TextPad_Context_Menu_Fix.reg

Code: Select all

 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with TextPad] 
@="" 
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open With TextPad\command] 
@="textpad.exe %1" 

Then run the .reg file to import the settings to your registry. Tadah.

This works fine for me.

The Textpad icon is missing. There must be another registry key to be added.

Anyone know what is needed?
