Resco Explorer + WordPad

[Guest]

Hello,

I am using Resco Explorer as well as WordPad, a great notepad-like text editor.

I was trying to use WordPad for opening (and editing) TXT files, whenever a TXT file is clicked from within Resco Explorer.

That is what I did:

1. Modification with a Registry Editor of Key \HKCR\.txt:

(Default) changed to Resco_txtfile

New String Value added: RescoPVBackup

2. Created new Key \HKCR\Resco_txtfile with the following entries:

\DefaultIcon\(Default): \Windows\iexplore.exe,-1006

\Shell\Open\Command\(Default): "\Storage Card\Program Files\WordPad\WordPad.exe" %1

(Default): TXT File

This should be compliant to the treatment of other extensions by the Resco Explorer.

However upon clicking on a TXT file within the Resco Explorer the WordPad only opens but does not start the respective TXT file.

Can anybody please tell me what I did wrong ?

Thanks so much !

Kind regards

Gerhard

looks correct.

try putting quotes around the argument:

\Shell\Open\Command\(Default): "\Storage Card\Program Files\WordPad\WordPad.exe" "%1"

Tryed this before as well, didn't work with wordpad. It works opening text files with Orneta Notepad though. Just out of interest, what is the original string for opening a textfile with ie? Because I've tryed making text files open with ie again using smart and resco explorer but it didn't work - it isn't "\Windows\iexplore.exe" "%1"

If someone hasn't edited it so text documents open with something else could you tell me what string you have in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\Shell\Open\Command\(Default)??

Thanks to both of you for your replies !

However putting %1 between inverted commas didn't work either.

No idea why this doesn't work with WordPad which is btw really a tremendous program - as is the Resco Explorer !

This is why it is really a pity that the two programs apparanetly don't cooperate :-(

I edited the registry but afair the original string was:

iexplore.exe %1

Yes, as far as I remember without the complete path and without inverted commas (however as I said not 100.0% sure).
