All it basically does is copy the program name for you and open Notepad. You could do that easily yourself, so I don't think it's really worth the bother.

Plus it also creates the .notes file next to the file. But if you rarely use or have a need for this feature then going through the trouble of debugging your system may not be worth the bother.

True, and if you want to do exactly what that program does without any bother at all, just use this; Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Text] @="Filenote..." [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\Text\Command] @="Notepad %1%.txt" Copy that code and save it as "Filenote.reg" doubleclick on it, it will be sent to the registry. Wont interfere with any other programs, doesn't need anything else at all. Just right click on any file to get the function. This is what it does; Adds "Filenote..." to the context menu; ![]() If you click on that entry with a file selected it asks you if you want to create the relevant text file, or show or overwrite the existing file; ![]() Regards....Mike Connor |

Yes, I tried this, but to save the resulting .txt file you have to navigate to the appropriate folder whereas FileNotes Windows Tagger is automatically ready to be saved in the same folder.

![]() The Icon is different because I have a different text editor as a default program, but it's just a normal text file. You can use any editor you like as long as it is in the system path, and you could,(for instance), simply copy and paste the whole blurb including images from a download site to the file if you used an editor capable of doing so. Like this one; http://www.polyedit.com/free.html <http://www.polyedit.com/free.html> Regards...Mike Connor |

When you click on "save" the file is immediately saved to the same folder (withought having to navigate) for a file in Program Files (x86)? Do you have UAC disabled?
If you want to use it with UAC enabled then use Notepad elevated, ( Run as Administrator); ![]() ![]() Set permissions as required, and it will work the same. Regards...Mike Connor |

Then that is why it works for Mike and not for polycue
With UAC Enabled, certain parts of the drive are marked as not accessible by standard user, And prompts for raising access level. Root of C:\ and Program Files are not standard user accessible areas for security reasons. Which is another reason I would not recommend the app discussed here. |
