Hello
I love having the context menu entry to allow me to easily edit a file, however, the entry looks out of place due to the fact that the majority of the entries have no icons next to them, could be have the option to turn the icon off?
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben,

welcome on forum.

I do not think this is really will help.
Area where icons are draw is also used for check boxes and radio buttons (toggle elements). So, it can not be removed.
In one menu you should not have some sub menus with icon stripe and some without, it will look strange. And there are a lot of sub menus with toggle elements.
So, maximum that can be achieved is just a stripe without icons and no space win. That is why I am not convinced with this request ;)

Best regards,
Alex.

That's a shame, just so you know, as a workaround I have been using this reg hack to enable an entry without options, just thought it would be nice to have the option from within HippoEDIT

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\HippoEDIT]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\HippoEDIT\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\HippoEDIT\\HippoEdit.exe\" \"%1\""


Thanks anyway

OK, now it is more clear.

I thought you mean removing of the icons inside HippoEDIT (in the text editor, for example).

If request was about HippoEDIT icon in the Shell context menu (Windows explorer) that can be done with some additional xml switch.
But this for me not a high priority request, so probably will be added in 1.50.

Best regards,
