that's most probably because you didn't associate ed2 with text files as recommended in editor2.txt. You need to add "%1" (including the quotation marks after the program name. See editor2.txt for more info (or FAQ#10)

I had the same problem, and being typically impatient, didn't read the help.
Windows 2000, options doesn't apparently default the "%" symbol, it does need to be added:
"C:\Program Files\2X Editor\Editor2.exe" "%1"
now all is well and good.
Great program, and 2X Explorer could save me alot of time too, thanks

this must be the most frequent question i receive, perhaps one in every three or four!

so i've decided that in the next version the whole command line will be considered as a single path, unless some command line option like /V is used. That should make things easier for 95% of users
