Registry settings and their meaning, help appreciated

Hello,
I have installed Akelpad replacing Notepad. I would like to know if there is any way to choose "Text files (*.txt)" as the default choice for Akelpad in the "Save As" dialog, instead of "All files (*.*).
I cannot find any such option in the "Settings..." dialog.
I have noticed that there are several settings in the registry under
HKEY_USERS\S*\Software\Akelsoft\AkelPad\Options
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Akelsoft\AkelPad\Options
but there is nothing there that I can see related to my problem,
so any tip would be much appreciated.

Generally speaking, is there any available list of these registry options with explanations of default and possible values?

Thanks in advance for feedback,
Dario

The ini file or the registry doesn't contain any "hidden" values. All those values are changable from the program.

If you type file name without extension and press save, then it will be saved with .txt extension. If you need to always save as .txt, you can use ResHacker to change:

Code: Select all

"Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
to

Code: Select all

"All files (*.*)|*.*|Text files (*.txt)|*.txt"
