[Release] Kels Notepad2 replacement addon 2.0.18.3

Kelsenellenelvian · Post by **Kelsenellenelvian** » Fri Nov 23, 2007 5:47 am

It doesn't quite replace the standard notepad BUT it does replace all associations to notepad2 and changes the Notepad short with needed changes for notpad2....

Also includes Metapath.

its more then enough having "open with" ready with ready MRU choice. an addon with both notepads is better then all other options
because then you can add "open with" for each which will cause another menu to appear "choose program...."

with the MRU window the user highlights the preferable ticks in the [box] to default the selected viewer. press ok
provided the MRU reg entries are entered & available to easily access the app in MRU
now change the default?, np. repeat on ... whats to be the default viewer then ?

The default viewer is set as notepad2 for nearly all standaed text file types...

i meant if you had both notepad2 and ++ configured to show in the open with and with an MRU reg entire available to trigger the short process of using "choose program...." and defaulting some open command for a file type
@one of the notepad viewers

BTW here is another file type

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\Open\Command] @="notepad.exe %1"

for unknown file types

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\Open\Command] @="notepad.exe %1"

doesnt work for me...

this seems to work though

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open\Command] @="notepad.exe %1"

but its a bit buggy

HKCR,"*\shell\open",,,"Open &With Notepad2"
HKCR,"*\shell\open\command",,,"Notepad2.exe %1"

HKCR,"*\shell\open",,,"Open With Notepad2"

"HKCU,"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.","Application",,"Notepad2""

If you apply this then double-click on any file will cause it to open in Notepad2. This is not a very good behavior since Windows will also give the Notepad2 icon to all unknown file types...

Better to add Notepad2 to the default Open With... list instead
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList]

it probably has something to do with that check mark in the choose program .. dialog
which eventually makes explorers "open with" unaccessible or it wont show-up

HKCR,"*\Shell\openas\command",,,"rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1"
this is for opening unknown extension "open"

OK found it : here is "openwith" for unknown file types and the tweak that gets it back after its gone for what reasons ...

with the mru preset for the known "last was open with for "this type *.ext" set on both notpad's you should get a choice :showing the both, cascading from "openwith" menu ..

to get the MRU value : will nee a regshot after using open with ...

yay! that tweak fixes it!

OK forget all the above:

: for this to work finally ,you will only need to make one extra association with windows default notepad so it triggers the open with collapsing menu by options for unknown types as well .

The thing i don't like about Notepad2 is that it doesn't associate a default extension when saving new files. It's not a problem for me since i know it or can change it afterwards or if i forgot somehow, i can figure out what that non-extensioned document is but... It can be confusing for many.
