There are MANY ways to start NotePad2 and edit a specific file.  Use
whichever technique is most convenient at the moment.

or
   Set up a shortcut to notepad2.exe, then
         Double-click shortcut icon to open Notepad2 with a blank file
      or
         Drag and drop a file onto the shortcut to edit that file
or
   Set up a file association, e.g., to .txt files, then
         Double-click such a file to open it with Notepad2
      or
         Right-click a file and select Edit from the context menu
or
   If Notepad2 is already started,
         Just drag a file onto its window
      or
         Click the New icon on the toolbar to start a blank file
      or
         Click the Open icon on the toolbar; browse for an existing file
or
   Add Notepad2 to your "Send To" list
      Then right-click any file and select Notepad2 from the list to
      open that file with Notepad2

------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to add an entry to your "Send To" list
   Create a shortcut to the desired program
   Name it $_program, e.g., $_Notepad2
      (The "$_" prefix just sorts it to the top of the displayed list)
   Open the SendTo directory (method depends on operating system)
      Windows 7:
         In Explorer, type shell:sendto in the address bar
      Windows XP:
         In Explorer, go to "Documents and Settings\userid"
         If SendTo is not visible, you need to change File Options to
            display hidden files
         Click the SendTo directory
   Drag the $_Notepad2 shortcut to the SendTo directory
   Close the SendTo directory
   Now when you right-click a file, $_Notepad2 should be in the list
