<h1>Shell
|
|
Extension</h1>
|
|
<p>By default the Notepad++ installer comes with a Shell
|
|
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,
|
|
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>.
|
|
<p>If the Shell extension is
|
|
already installed, the Notepad++ installer cannot update or overwrite
|
|
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.
