Windows 10: context menu print option missing for .txt files (notepad++)

So i just ran across my txt files not having the right-click print option. pdf's do, word files do etc. Just nothing for basic old .txt files.

Seems odd and the only thing I can think of is the fact i changed notepad++ to be my editor for them.

Anyone know where this is added in the registry?

Desktop Context Menu: New No .txt file in there. How to add etc.

Yes I did! In the Context Menu New there is no Notepad++, but I did set Notepad++ via the Open with context menu to open all .txt files. Just to let you know, I did this option before with the .txt option in the context menu new.

 

How to fix 'Open with' on file context menu.

Only if things are working correctly. Here's a few things I notice:

1. When I go into 'Default Programs' and change .txt files to use another program I do get a list of other programs that I can use to open the .txt file. This list is what should appear on the 'Open with' context menu in File Manager.

2. The extensions with the 'Open with' problem also don't have 'Open' on the context menu. It should be the first entry on the list. I can still click on the file and it will open with he default program.

Got to be something in the Registry. I thought I would find under .txt in the Registry an Openwith List with wordpad and notepad. But there isn't any even on my VM Windows where 'Open with' works fine.
