    If running 32bit ++ as Admin. the “Edit with” context menu will not work, do not run as Admin and it works fine. In the 64bit version it works either way.

      Sure? Because the reason why it isn’t working is the elevation level Microsoft introduced
      some time ago.

      If you run your npp as administrator but the explorer process runs as normal or
      different user then it shouldn’t work - in both versions.

      If both explorer and npp run under on the same level, e.g. both started as administrator,
      then it should work -> 32 as well as on 64 bit

      Cheers
