Hello Currently, the Edit option (right click) to modify a .reg, .bat, .cmd, etc. file opens the old Notepad It is possible to open the new Notepad by replacing the "Command" key with the path of the new Notepad (ex: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_11.2112.32.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Notepad\Notepad.exe) But is it possible to replace this path with the App ID ? Thanks
What version of Windows are you running? I'm on 22621.2428 Education, and I have not taken any action to get a newer version of Notepad. Currently, "C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe" shows, under properties, to be 11.2309.28.0 I also find %LOCALAPPDATA%\microsoft\windowsapps\notepad.exe which has a size of 0 byes, and is a link to "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_11.2309.28.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Notepad\Notepad.exe" Examining the properties of that file, it also shows as 11.2309.28.0 I do not find any older versions of notepad.exe on my system. YMMV
I also have the latest version It's with the Edit option in the context menu (right click) on a .reg, .bat, .cmd file, for example where it opens the old Notepad (System32\Notepad.exe)
Please re-read my original reply to you. On my system, "C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe" is the newer version.
The version might have been updated (but not sure), but it's still the old Notepad The new one, a while ago, is the Notepad App, when you open a text file, by default it's the Notepad App opens (not the one in system32) I found the shortcut that works well, for the Edit option and some files : %LOCALAPPDATA%\microsoft\windowsapps\notepad.exe "%1" which opens the Notepad App
I thought I saw a few years ago how to disable the creation of the LastGood.Tmp folder in Windows when installing a new driver But I can't find it anymore, if anyone has an idea Thanks
Good morning. I managed to find the registo key to enable "Edit with Paint" when an image is selected with the right mouse button. The icon I copied it to the root "%windir%\SysWOW64" Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\Open With Paint] @="&Edit with Paint" "icon"="%windir%\\SysWOW64\\Microsoft_Paint.ico" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\Open With Paint\command] @="mspaint.exe \"%1\"" I must admit that I am having a very strange situation. The command, worked fine for a long time, but when I updated Paint via Microsoft Store, the command to call the registry key @="mspaint.exe \"%1\" no longer works. If I am not mistaken, the command should launch the executable mspaint.exe which is located in the path. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Paint_11.2309.28.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\PaintApp In fact launching this executable does not start.. I tried replacing the registry key call command with. @="explorer shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.Paint_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App" When I select an image and run the command, Paint opens not with the selected image but with the default interface. Any ideas? Thank you very much.
