Missing item in context menu

[jeiea]

I use both Everything and Notepad++ usefully.

So far whenever I trying to open file with Notepad++, which searched by Everything,
I had to click "Open Path" in context menu and on explorer context menu click "Edit with Notepad++"
because Everything's context menu doesn't have "Edit with Notepad++"

Could it be changed that "Edit with Notepad++" item also appears on Everything's context menu?

My environment is Windows 7 Ultimate K x64.

This context menu item is missing because Everything is x86 and Notepad++ uses an x64 shell extension.

The next Everything beta update should fix this with a x64 version.
Currently only a x86 version of Everything is available.

I have NPP associated with all text files so I don't need a context menu but why would they use a shell extension for the context menu(extra ram taken for something that could be just a registry key that point to the program)

In WinXP,this is the key responsible to the Edit\Open menus for text files
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\text\shell
You can add your own menu

Thanks for the replies :)

1. x64 version? It will be great!
   I will wait that version.
2. I use notepad sometimes so I haven't registered NPP as default editor yet.
   And I use shell context menu when open the file with NPP, which extension is missing.
3. It seems helpful in many situation related in context menu.
   I have solved this problem by registering 32bit dll too by regsvr32 this time.

Could you throw some light on URL protocol and how it works. I use firefox , say in a page I select the word "Geek" and then try to search for the occurrence of such a word in my system using Everything. How are they connected , because the right click in FF is dominated only by Firefox entries. Bookmarklets? A noob question , but worth the answer...

An x64 version of Everything is available here.
