Re: Edit with Notepad++ doesn't appear in the context menu
Maybe hijacking this topic, but it was the closest I found.
On my work machine (XP Prof. 64bit) both XY and WinZip are 32bit programs (as task manager states) but still the context menu entries for WinZip aren't shown.
Any idea, how to get them back without editing the registry, 'cos I haven't got the rights to do so.

1. Do you have Configuration > Extended > Default items only in shell context menu, enabled?
2. Some 32-bit programs (I know of UltraEdit), even though they're 32-bit programs, install only a 64-bit shell extension when installed on 64-bit Windows.
In general, has this worked before?

Nope, checked with different config option constellations but to no avail.nas8e9 wrote:Two possible reasons:

This might be it - need to investigate further, thanksnas8e9 wrote:2. Some 32-bit programs (I know of UltraEdit), even though they're 32-bit programs, install only a 64-bit shell extension when installed on 64-bit Windows.
Sure, otherwise I wouldn't complain about it, and it still works on my home machine w/ XP Pro 32bit.nas8e9 wrote:In general, has this worked before?

Re: Edit with Notepad++ doesn't appear in the context menu
This seems to indicate WinZip does install a 64-bit shell extension. In case it indeed doesn't install a 32-bit one as well on 64-bit Windows: one workaround which apparently works for UltraEdit, is to hunt down the .dll for the 32-bit shell extension and manually registering it withRalphM wrote:This might be it - need to investigate further, thanksnas8e9 wrote:2.

Re: Edit with Notepad++ doesn't appear in the context menu
Ran into the referenced problem, but with Ultraedit
I found a 32bit version of what looks like the correct file (ue32ctmn.dll), but running regsvr32 with that file got an error message to the effect that the dll was loaded, but the entry point DllRegisterServer was not found, and nothing was done.
Looking at the register I see that some shell entries (like winrar) have an additional 32bit class defined, so presumably that needs to be done for Ultraedit, but I'm not sure I can do that all manually.
Has any gotten Ultraedit to be a context menu with XYplorer on a 64 bit system??
Thanks

You can always use a software like http://www.softplatz.net/Downloads/Util ... lorer.html to put programs in your context menu.

Re: Edit with Notepad++ doesn't appear in the context menu
Fast Explorer looks like it was done for 32 bit windows, had problem with everything that was 32 bit on a 64 bit system, which is the problem I'm having.
I did find what looked like plausible registry settings, but no dice. Ultraedit seems to be unusual in that it puts content menu item under the current user, not just the MACHINE, and I don't know where XYplorer is checking for context menus.
Still looking for a solution.

I'm using FastExplorer for more than 5 years, from XP up to 7, including 7 @ x64 now...

Never tried to do so. Any special application in mind (64bit)? I could try it in a virtual x86 win 7 machine.Can it make 64-bit apps appear in a 32-bit context menu?

Nothing special. Just thought this might provide a workaround for this old issue: http://www.xyplorer.com/faq-topic.php?id=ctx64highend wrote:Never tried to do so.
