I have come to the point of always running it portable. Hassle-free, no worries about UAC etc, and you still get to integrate PSPad with the shell (right-mouse call-up) via the Options - Settings.
So my recommendation is to run it as portable. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,58290,58291> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
