    Open with notepad - Applies to?


    This tweak adds "Open with Notepad" to a lot of different file types, some of which already open in Notepad if you select "Edit". Having both "Edit" and "Open with Notepad" doing the same thing is redundant, and unnecessarily clutter's the context menu.

    Before I spend time trying to add "AppliesTo" to this tweak, do you have one already?

    Hello Sam,

    I currently do not have a version with "AppliesTo" to restrict it.
