Here’s a quick video tip for adding an Open with Notepad to the right click context menu.
- Open the registry editor (regedit.exe)
- Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*Shell
- Create a new key and name it Open with Notepad
- Right click on the newly created key and create another key named command
- Double-click the Default setting in the right pane and type:
notepad.exe %1
Note: You can replace notepad.exe with your favorite editor’s full path. I use Notepad2 from Flo’s Freeware
If you don’t want to screw around with the registry, you can download and merge the OpenWithNotepad.reg file. Simple download and double-click on the file.
