I prefer it to Send To, as it is less dragging and clicking, and it is something I use ALL THE TIME. Vista's implementation is annoying: when selecting multiple files, the TextPad item does not appear unless all the files are the same extension. For example, I would like to open both the source.cpp and source.h files at the same time in a single TextPad. Vista forces me to select them separately. And I don't really want to change the default for those files away from the Visual Studio defaults. I too have used this registry hack for ages – with a link to TextPad.

GREAT Job!

I had this on my old win2k install, like from 4 yrs ago, but I didn’t remember how, so I couldn’t RE:DO it.

Thanks a ton, you’re the greatest.
