a) Installed 3.5
b) Noticed there is no 'Open with Notepad++' in right-click menu in WinXP SP2.
c) Downloaded manual DLL register (nppshellext.dll and applicable batch file for install. Batch file contains the following line: regsvr32 nppshellext.dll
d) Received error: I am getting a LoadLibrary("nppshellext.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found.
d) Still no Open with in right click sub menu.
Can someone lend a hand?

You're missing some DLL files. Namely, you should check if you have msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll files in your system32 directory. If you don't have them - google for them.

You don't need the DLL to get NP++ on your context menu - it's all doable with a few registry modifications. I've shown how to do it a couple of times, try using the search feature here :)

Put these lines in a reg file, i.e. "npp.reg" and register it:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Notepad++]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Notepad++\command]
@="notepad++ %1"
Works fine if you follow the instructions:
...(they *MUST* be in the same directory as notepad++.exe file)...
This wont work for paths with spaces - you need quotes around %1.
My OS is WinXP SP2, I don't have this problem :)
