Extension< / h1 >
< p > By default the Notepad++ installer comes with a Shell
2009-07-02 12:45:08 +00:00
extension. This is not really part of the Notepad++ program but very
useful. If you choose to install it, then any file you rightclick on
will show an entry named “ Edit with Notepad++” with the Notepad++
icon.< p >
Please
note that to install or remove the extension, it sometimes is
required to restart the Explorer process. For this you can reboot,
2009-11-23 01:34:38 +00:00
logout and log back in or use the task manager to kill explorer
(Windows NT and up) and restart it again. You can do this by hitting < span class = "shortcut" > Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Del< / span > .
2009-07-02 12:45:08 +00:00
< p > If the Shell extension is
already installed, the Notepad++ installer cannot update or overwrite
2009-11-23 01:34:38 +00:00
it, you first have to uninstall it and restart Explorer.

< p > If you issue the install command for the dll, which is < tt > regsvr32 /i NppShell_01.dll< / tt > , a dialog box will pop up from which various details of the behaviour of the extension can be tweaked. The trailing number will increase as versions go.
