在资源管理器中查看此文件（在记事本中打开）

Question

I have file.txt opened in notepad++.exe

This works with all filetypes (.xlsx .txt .tab .csv .pages .scrivener you get it) on OS X:

• I right click the file name using the app I'm in. (On notepad++ on windows, this would be right clicking on my file.txt file.)
• A menu pops up, showing me the path to that file. For example /dropbox/work/projectA/subfolderB/file.txt
• I choose a certain folder, for example the folder /projectA
• That folder opens up in finder.

I want to do this on windows 7. Extra important to do it in notepad++ with .txt-files, since those are part of my GTD-system.

The question is not at all clear about what you want.

Having installed Notepad++ via the normal installer, you should be able to right-click on a file in Windows Explorer (or File Explorer) and select "Edit with Notepad++". That allows any file to be viewed with Notepad++.

The Notepad++ Run menu should contain an entry for Open containing folder that opens Windows Explorer at the folder containing the current file. This command shoul dbe in the file c:\\Users\\{UserName}\\AppData\\Roaming\\Notepad++\\shortcuts.xml . The shortcuts file on My Windows 7 computer contains the line

<Command name="Open containing folder" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">explorer $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)</Command>

If you need to alter the shortcuts file then do not use Notepad++, use another editor.
