Want "Edit in Notepad++" Context Menu


bruh i what notepad++ context menu 64bits not portable please :tears: :(
Download and install it. Win11 will run most 32-bit programs if that's a consideration.

I simply delete portable versions if not wanted but I keep them on USB Thumb drives anyway for ...............portability.

If you download a portable version. It will not contain the context menu.
However, lots of programs installer are just self extracting and notepad++ is one of them.
Download the Installer version then use 7-zip to unzip. You'll see a folder called: contextMenu containing nppshell.dll
You then have to open the command prompt and register it : regsvr32 nppshell.dll
To remove the context menu: regsvr32 /U nppshell.dll

One of the things installing a program does is set File Associations, portable apps don't do that.
