    Does anyone know how to get the Notepad++ context menus showing in vista when you right click on a file?

    Cheers

      I am on Vista pro  32 bits and have no problem about that

      I'm using the 64-bit version and the file associations work fine, but when I right click a file there isn't an option to edit it with Notepad++ like there was under XP.

        It has disappeared in XP as well. What happened? I used that context menu all the time, and now it's gone.

      Don, whats the status on these shell extensions?
      Currently there are 2 on the website, on that is available from the main page and one if you browse the directory manually. Is one the result from problems of the other?

      I managed to compile the 'public' one to 64 bit and it worked on my XP machine (additionally UNICODE got fixed, I think it didnt work). Maybe you can put that online aswell for the 64 bit users? I had much trouble making it because the extension I was trying to fix didnt work, took minutes of my time browsing to notepad++ myself :D (I changed it VS 2005 instead of a makefile)
