I have recently download npp4.3. I uninstalled npp4.0.2 (my previous version) and installed 4.3. However, i cannot register any files with it. It will not come up in the "Open With" menu. I can run it by using a shortcut. This has happened with 2 machines already. Uninstalling 4.3 and reverting to an earlier version does not work. I've had a look in the registry and even if i manually edit HK_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> Explorer -> FileExts -> .txt -> (Default) or the sub categories [OpenWithList] and [OpenWitProgids] but it still won't open in npp - it just brings up the "Open With" menu again.
I even created a new file extension and created a string value after it called application and put notepad++.exe as the value, again the "Open With" appeared again.
So basically, i cannot use npp for double clicking on any files now. Any ideas?

Looks like it was a registry problem. looking for notepad++.exe in the registry i can find many references to v4.0.25 - that installer may not have cleaned up after itself. Fixing these to the correct path to the v4.3 install seems to work.
