I am trying to modify the registry to enable context menu print(using
notepad) of text files that dont have the .txt extension, i have tried a
couple of ways posted on the net, but, i try all i get is that the file
cant be found
Any idea's?

This isn't exactly what you are asking for but you could add Notepad to the
SendTo folder. Then you can right-click a file, choose Send to Notepad,
then print from Notepad's File menu.
To get to the SendTo folder, go to Start, Run and type: SendTo and press
Enter or click OK
Right-click, choose New, Shortcut and then type: notepad.exe

You don't give any indication what you actually tried making it a bit
difficult to see the problem. However, PattyL has a good idea that can be
enhanced by creating a batch file with this command start /m notepad /p %1
as the SendTo target. This will run notepad minimized to print the
document.

thanks for the replys, i will use your suggestions in the mean time |
while i play around with the other. i had tried adding in the registry
the print command from the .txt file extension to the extensions that we
use, the print command shows up in the context menu but when selected
brings up the error, that it can't find the selected file. |
