"Edit with Notepad++" under Windows 11
-
I’ve got emails/private messages from users complain about Edit with Notepad++ in the explorer’s context menu under Windows 11.
I’ll see what I can do about it when I get Windows 11. In the meantime, here’s a solution:

Maybe you know it already, but they build a new API for the context menu:

https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/windows-11-classic-context-menusI don’t use this method (get back classic menu!). I am waiting for “NP++” update to add this option to new Win 11 context menu. If you implement this option to “NP++” would it be practical for “NP++ Portable Minimal” version too. I am using this version since years ago and I added “NP++” to right click with registry hack (it appears by right click on any file type).

There are so many ways to do this, under the differing OSes that I hope Notepad++ developers DON’T spend their time on something like this. And, given this history, I don’t think they will.

YES! This is the way to go.

Hello, will you be able to direct me to the modification that needs to be made to the registry to enable this? The methods I found while googling changed the classic context menu, not the windows 11 one.
