Right-click in explorer

Hi,

I'm using textpad 5.0.3 on windows vista

In previous versions when I right clicked a file in windows explorer, a textpad option would appear in the bottom of the menu. This would open the file in an already open instance of textpad.

This very handy functionality is not available on my current textpad running on vista. The send-to option is available, but that opens each file in a separate textpad instance - I want the file to be opened in an existing textpad instance. Also the send-to menu is an extra unnecessary click.

Any way to get this working?

Cheers

Maybe this doesn't work on vista, but you should be able to set that shortcut in TextPad: Configure > Preferences > General > Context Menu. If it's already checked: uncheck > Close TP > start TP > check.

Has anyone figured this out yet, definitively (or Helios responded as to why this doesn't work in Vista?)

I am on Vista Home Premium (and not by choice) and cannot get the context menu to work. I've disabled, quick, renabled, to no avail. I've gone through some of the other steps in other posts, and nothing works.

I can only get it to show up on the 'Send To' menu which is annoying, I miss just being able to right-click ANYTHING and hit 'TextPad' without aiming for submenus.

Hi, I have the 5.1.0 version and I have the same problem on Vista.
I do all the things that you put in the post and more but the "context menu" don't appear.
The send to is working but is to near of the skype link and sometimes I send a file to skype.
