I agree with MELERIX (above), I don’t think it’s easy to implement. I remember when Notepad++ implemented a Windows 11 context menu for the first time. It wasn’t implemented according to best practices and caused confusion and frustration to users. After this, a volunteer with specialized knowledge offered to help the author of Notepad++ with an implementation that followed more established practices. It took about 1 to 2 weeks to create a new implementation. Following this, it took about 4 to 5...

I also suggest reaching out to Don Ho as the author of Notepad++ who in recent months marked 20 years for his open-source...

Hi Enigma2Illusion, These are the concerns that always prevented me from using keyfiles since to me, they seemed too fragile to rely on. Is it realistic to be cautious of using the read only attribute? If someone has sufficient access to your system to forensically check the attributes of files, you have a potentially serious issue. Yes they may not have admin access but they could likely find a way to do so e.g. unpatched software or displaying a UAC prompt that a user just clicks “Yes” to or enters...
