Hi, This is my first post to this list, please forgive me if I break any convention :-)
I'm using gVim on Windows daily, in combination with the Windows explorer, and the files context menu. However I never use the "Edit with existing Vim" entries, but I often have many Vim instances running, and this is cluttering my context menus. So I wanted to get rid of those entries. I modified the source code for the gvimext.dll explorer extension, so that I can disable the "Edit with existing Vim" entries. Unexpectedly, it was very easy to compile a replacement gvimext.dll. You can find the patch attached to this email. The default behavior stays unchanged, but by creating an entry in the registry in HKLM\Software\Vim\Gvim, named DisableEditWithExisting, and with any value, the DLL will no longer show these context menu entries. I was rougly inspired by the LegacyDisable entry for file association verbs [1]. It would be nice to include that patch in future Vim releases. Please feel free to comment on the patch, or ask for modifications. Regards, Jérôme.
