    One of the choices on the Run tab is Launch in IE. I’d like to Launch in Edge. How do I change it? or add another choice so I choose Edge? Thank you in advance.

      The Run menu stuff is located in the shortcuts.xml file. Follow the pattern for the other entries there.

        Thanks Scott, Found the file but don’t understand how to “address” the Edge program. Found where edge is in the System Apps but the .exe file doesn’t run. Appreciate the try but am giving up.

          Edge is, what MS calls a, modern app which means it needs to be started under
          some kine of context like the explorer. This basically means you cannot start the exe
          for itself. What you can try to do is to use a command shell or tools like RunEdge.exe
          to make it work.

          Cheers

            This worked from the Run (F5) menu option for me.

              but this doesn’t work for files, I assume. Did you try that?

              Cheers

                Hmm. No, it doesn’t. Even if I copy and paste a URL for a file that I opened using Open With option from Windows Explorer context which has all the spaces and things converted to %20 and all that. I might try to look for that context menu entry in regedit some time to see if it is something usable.

                  This works for me:

                  1. Download the MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe from https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/edge-launcher/releases/tag/1.0.0.0 to your C:\Program Files (x86) folder
                  2. Edit your C:/Users/<put your username here>/AppData/Roaming/Notepad++/shortcuts.xml file
                  3. In the <UserCommand> secton add this line:
                    <Command name=“Launch in Edge” Ctrl=“yes” Alt=“yes” Shift=“yes” Key=“83”>“C:\Program Files (x86)\MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe” "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)</Command>
                  4. Exit and reload Notepad++
                  5. Open an HTML file and try it.
                    Jim…
