Problem with long file names

[Henry G]

I have changed the Registry so that I can edit batch files with NP++ via

“C:\Program Files\Utils\Notepad++\notepad++.exe” %1

but it only works with 8.3 “short file names” even though I use Windows 11x64.

Any easy solution for this that does not involve renaming my batch file please? Although I can use “send to” instead.

@Henry-G said in Problem with long file names:

“C:\Program Files\Utils\Notepad++\notepad++.exe” %1

Does
"C:\Program Files\Utils\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1"
help to solve the issue?

Excellent! Thank you :-}

And I’m sure it will come in use elsewhere.
