Hi,

First time I've posted here but I've used the product for a long time. I was going to post this in the bug forum but I noticed that it's locked.

The best way to explain this bug is to give a quick synopsis of it and then show you a quick video I made.

I have a game I play that has .cs files in it that require a lot of editing and I've used Ultraedit since I can't remember to edit these things. Usually I have to click on Open With and then choose UltraEdit to ensure that's the program that always open these .cs files. Well in this new build I'm not able to do that.

When you click on Browse to select the program you want to open it with I navigate it to the uedit32.exe and double click. Usually something comes up showing that you can pick the UltraEdit Text Editor as a choice. For some reason now I can't.

I tried a different executable (ucl.exe) and the Ultracompare Professional option came up, but nothing with the uedit32.exe.

I'm not always the best at explaining an issue so here's a quick movie that completely illustrates my point:

Now I'm still able to open the file by right clicking and choosing Ultraedit-32 but that gets really annoying after awhile. Hopefully this is an easy bug to fix!

Hi sLaM,

nice Video. Hmm, did you try to uninstall and reinstall UE ?
Try to do this: "OPEN WITH", choose UE via BROWSE and check the "always open with" checkbox.
then try again.

Seems 2 be a Win issue, not UE.

Really a nice video. I found your problem by using Regmon from Sysinternals and protocol the process you showed in your video.

In your registry there must be a string value named NoOpenWith at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\uedit32.exe.

Delete this empty string key and it will be visible again in the list of applications. If you are not familiar with the registry, copy the following green lines to a text file, save it with extension .reg and double click on it to import (= to delete) this string key.


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\uedit32.exe]
"NoOpenWith"=-

Bego,

I did try that, the first thing I did was un-install and then re-install. I tried checking "always open with" and that did nothing.

Mofi,

Thank you! Your solution worked, I'm somewhat familiar with regedit but I didn't even try to look I just copied and pasted into a text file like you said and that seemed to have worked! Thanks so much for the help, very appreciated.

And even if this is a windows thing I have installed the new version on my home pc AND work pc to have the same problem occur. So that makes me wonder as to it being just a windows issue.

Either way thanks again for the help folks!
