Hi,

on my first attempts to install PsPad on a fresh Windows 10 system, I couldn't
get the context menu integration working for a restricted (non-admin) user.

The radio buttons for "Registry" and "DLL Library" were greyed out.

After installing PsPad to a different directory ("C:\Program Files
(x86)\Pspad"), context menus worked also for the restricted user.

In the registry, I still find references to non-existing short directoy names,
e.g.:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT      xtfile\shell\open\Command]
@="C:\PROGRA~2\PSPADE~1\PSPad.exe \"%1\""

(also in HKCU\Software\Classes  xtfile\shell\open\Command)

I'm not sure whether the old installation directoy was shortened to "PSPADE~1".

Maybe an error in the generation of short path names?

I suggest not to use them anymore.

Oliver

P.S.: Sorry that I can't provide more precise observations.
