Explorer context menu item missing (again)

Hi Rickard, this seems to be a recurring issue.

I updated to 15.42, the context menu item is missing (again), so I downloaded the full installer for 15.40, and installed it. When I ran it, it updated to 15.42 automatically, still there is no context menu item.

I also tried running the "InstallContextMenu64.bat" file, as administrator, before and after reinstallation, none of these things is working.

Do you maybe have a solution for this?

Thanks very much for your help :)

I can reproduce it on Windows 10, but not on Windows 11 :shock:

Anyway, in the mean time you could just add the following lines to an empty document and save it as a .bat file:

Code: Select all

reg add "HKCR\*\shell\EditWithTextEd" /t REG_SZ /d "Edit with RJ TextEd" /reg:64 /f
reg add "HKCR\*\shell\EditWithTextEd\command" /t REG_SZ /d "\"C:\Program Files\RJ TextEd\TextEd.exe\" \"%%V\"" /reg:64 /f
Make sure the path is correct and run the bat file as administrator.

It should work properly in the next release (v15.44).
