You could always do a registry edit to get rid of it.

Any pointers I could use to start from? I've done simple editing on the registry before, but I mostly only messed with the programs that start up with Windows, don't know where to find context menus standards (on Windows Vista)...

Browse to the directory nppcm.dll is in (should be in the main directory under the "Program Files" directory) and type the following:
regsvr32 /u nppcm.dll
You may have to provide the exact directory for regsvr32.exe (wherever it is on your system -
example: c:\windows\system\regsvr32 /u nppcm.dll
...it may be in a different directory, depending on the version of Windows you're using.)
After using the above command (it should say something like 'nppcm.dll correctly unregistered', if I remember correctly) successfully, log off or reboot, and you should no longer have Open with Notepad++ in the context menu.

Is there a way to remove the Windows Explorer context menu addition?
It adds "Open with Notepad++" to the context menu.
However for the sake of removing endless clutter (speed) it should be optional.
Thank you Haibara, Fool4U for the ideas.
Registry entry from Andy Dean was precise, it worked, thanks a lot!
Pleased that it was of help to you.
I found a way: install via ZIP instead of the EXE installer!
Is there any other way? This is highly intrusive....
Perhaps you should remove (or rename first) nppcm.dll from the Notepad++ installation folder. nppcm = Notepad++ Context Menu?

The registry entry is [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Notepad++]
