      I’ve got a bit of a minor annoyance I’m hoping to fix. When I right-click on certain files, the context menu always shows an “Edit with Notepad++” option. I’d really like to remove this, but I’m having trouble finding the setting for it within Notepad++ itself.
      Any pointers on how to get rid of this specific entry from the right-click menu would be greatly appreciated!

        @Ling-Ling ,

        When you install Notepad++, it installs the right-click context-menu entry using a “Shell Extension”. The User Manual has an entire page on the Shell Extension, including a secion on how to unregister the Shell Extension so that the “Edit with Notepad++” entry goes away
