Rhino Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Hi, I'm trying to add txt-file to the new-file menu but I can't get it to work. I've made a reg file containing this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew] "NullFile"=""Any idea what I'm missing?Thanx
jrzycrim Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 It should be there by default.Here's the full .txt key:[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt]@="txtfile""PerceivedType"="text""Content Type"="text/plain"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\PersistentHandler]@="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew]"NullFile"=""
Rhino Posted July 13, 2004 Author Posted July 13, 2004 Thanx a lot - it's working The only weird thing is it now opens in notepad and not editplus. Is that a thing I should change in the key you gave me or some place else?
jrzycrim Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 Right click on any text file, select 'Open with...', Find edit plus in the list of programs offered. If it's not listed, then click browse and navigate to where edit plus resides. Make sure that 'Always use the selected program...' is checked. Click ok. That should make Edit Plus the default program for text files.
Rhino Posted July 13, 2004 Author Posted July 13, 2004 Ahh of course. Thank you so much - I use this a lot Very appreciated
