At some point I've right clicked in Explorer to open a file in Notepad++ and the context menu is left floating around on my screen.    I've killed off both Explorer and Notepadd++ but the context menu remains.  I've tried to drop the window identification target from Process Explorer on to it but Process Explorer doesn't seem to see it.   Its really annoying because I don't want to reboot at the moment and its hovering right over everything! Does anyone know how to kill these things off without a reboot?   Thanks!

Occasionally, I get part of an application lingering behind on my desktop:    This is part of a context menu for an application. It is always top-most, meaning that it is always on the screen, and I cannot click on it (it just clicks through it). It has happened before, sometimes with whole windows. It remains on screen even if the application it originated from is no longer running.  How do I get rid of it without rebooting?

I would like to open 4 Notepad++ windows at once, in the same pannel. Currently, I am only able to split it into two, and would like to know if there is a plugin that enables 4 views at at same time, or 3.   thanks

For example when you execute   c:\&gt; notepad   then a new notepad window opens. How can I create a custom shortcut for my application?

This is a distinct question from   I want to get rid of the "Look Up x" contextual menu in Chrome:  How can it be done?

Our admins deployed a new version of Notepad++ (version 6.3) on our machines, and this version is highlighting all changes done in a file by default. It does so by setting the background color of every modified line to a bright orange, which I find very distracting.  We  have dozens of plugins installed, but I double checked and we do not have the "Change Markers" plugin (which could be the culprit).  Any idea where I can disable this feature? Changing the highlight color could also be an option.

When I wanted to launch an app in Windows 7 (or Gnome), I pressed the windows key and typed the name of the app, for example, "Firefox", and pressed enter. Now in Windows 10 the Search Windows have weird behavior - I can search for "Edge", but not for "Firefox". "Firefox" will result in nothing found. However, "Firefox." (notice the dot) will result in result that will open Firefox.   Searching for "Notepad" will result in only windows usual Notepad, I cannot select Notepad++. Query "Notepad+" will yield the same result - only Notepad showing. Only typing full "Notepad++" yields useful Notepad++.  Is there logic behind the Search I cannot understand and/or can I bypass it and make it search the regular apps too?

I just migrated from XP x86 to Win7 x64  (clean install). I had a couple of data drives in my XP x86 system that I physically moved to my Win7 x64 system.  When browsing a directory in any of the transferred drives, the only option available in the 'new' context menu is "Folder", i.e., Right-Click inside a folder > New > Folder (this is similar behavior for Win7 when using the context menu in c:\Program Files):    However, whenever creating a new folder within any of the directories, all the context menu new items are available within the new folder:    Steps I've taken that have failed to add the new context menu items:   Removing all security permissions from a directory and sub-directories. Replacing them with new permissions. As well as removing inheritable permissions from the parent. Taking explicit ownership of a directory and sub-directories. Combing the above two.   Sample of Effective Permissions that do not work:    Steps I've taken that have succeeded to add the new context menu items:   Adding the "Everyone" group to the drive and giving the group explicit "Modify" privileges.   Giving the "Everyone" group explicit privileges smells wrong. I'm an administrator on my system; why should I have to add the "Everyone" group as well?  Adding my username to the drive and giving full permissions.   Again, since I'm an administrator on my system and the administrators group already has full control of the drive/directories/folders, why should I have to explicitly add my user name to the security permissions?    Finally, The Question:  Is it possible to have the New Item context menu have all available options by default without having to explicitly add the everyone group or a specific user name to the security permissions?  I'm suspecting that the option may not be available unless the username is explicitly added to the security permissions.  Of note: I've seen the registry hacks for updating the new items context menu; my preference is to avoid such hacks and return the functionality to the expected behavior an administrator should have.

So I have the latest version of Windows 10, and this is a new PC.  File Explorer is in the taskbar.  When I open the context menu (right-click) on it, I get the list of folders as seen in the picture.  When I right click on any of them, I get the blank black box you see in the picture.  If I click on any of the folders, such as Downloads or Update.  Nothing happens.  They don't open.  The only way to use it is to click on the actual File Explorer icon and then navigate from there.  I've tried uninstalling things (not that I have much installed since it's a fresh install) and I've tried scans, etc.  This only happens with File Explorer.  Everything else works fine.  I can't figure it out.

When you hold Shift while right-clicking a folder in Windows, the context menu includes the option to Open command window here.  Is there a registry tweak, or an extension/add-on, which frees you from the need to hold Shift for this operation?

There is a tiny window that I am unable to identify or close. It is big enough for me to move but I can't seem to stretch it to make it bigger, I can't close it. It does not appear to be any of the items listed as Applications in the Task Manager.  Is there any sort of program that allows me to identify a process by clicking on the window of the application?  I really want to know what this is. If I log out it goes away but something I am doing is causing it to re-appear.  Any ideas how best to troubleshoot it?

Using . Everything works fine, but it appears there are limits - when selecting more than 15 folders, &quot;Take Ownership&quot; context menu entry disappears. Same goes with files, 15 is maximum. Where does that limit of 15 come from and why does it exist?

When I right-click on a file on my Mac OS desktop and then in the contextual menu, I move to the "Open with...", the list of potential applications to "open with" has applications listed multiple times, sometimes three or four times, right next to each other!   Why does this happen? How do I fix it? how do I stop it from re-occurring?   See this snapshot of the contextual menu showing the doubling up:     Now I have Mountain Lion on a 13" MacBook Pro, but this problem existed before I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

I just upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 and everything is working fine except notepad keeps opening on boot with a "access denied" window that comes up as well. I've ran MBAM and removed some junk, I've disabled every "file not found" item in autoruns as well as something that had a text/xml title in it and I've ran CCleaner a few times. Nothing is working, any help is much appreciated!

I would like .txt files to open with Notepad++ by default in Windows 10. I have found the options to change file associations but there is no option to specify custom programs. Here's a screen shot:    How can I make Notepad++ default program for .txt files?

When I send a file to the Trash using the delete keyboard button, a popup appears at the top of the nautilus window, saying that the file has been removed, and showing a button to undo the operation.  I find this extremely annoying, because I can't click anything below that popup, and I have to wait until it disappears. Besides, I can undo the deletion with just a ctrl+Z, so I don't find it at all useful.  How can I get rid of this notification? I've looked in the preferences but there's nothing about this.  I have Ubuntu 18.04 and my GNOME version is 3.28.2.

How do I launch Windows'  with certain path located, like "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0", so I don't have to do the clicking?  What's the command line argument to do this? Or is there a place to find the explanation of RegEdit's switches?

I would like to re-map existing shortcuts, right-clicks, etc so Q-Dir is opened instead of default Windows Explorer.  short of renaming ``explorer.exe in Windows folder - are there any settings I need to look at?  maybe in Registry somewhere?
