Description of the Issue
I wanted Notepad++ to always "run as administrator", so I found the .exe and checked that option on the compatibility tab, but now whenever I try to open a file with the right-click > Edit with Notepad++ option I get the error message "Notepad++ Extension: Error", "ShellExecute Failed (2): Is this command correct?" with the path to the Notepad++ exe on the next line followed by the path to the file I was trying to open...
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Check the "Run this program as an administrator" option in the exe properties menu
- try to open any file using the "Edit with Notepad++" option in the windows right-click context menu.
Expected Behavior
The file opens, with notepad++ in administrator mode
Actual Behavior
I get the following and the program does not open.
